“Bean and Bailey” – the name of the newest upscale, overpriced haberdashery on the Promenade? “Bean and Bailey”- the latest upscale, overpriced espresso served up by your local barista? All good answers…but not the answer we’re looking for.

“Bean and Bailey” is a Tennessee-based comedy duo, proving that clean comedy is indeed funny comedy. Bean and Bailey included Greeley and Journey Christian Church as a stop on their current tour, treating over 200 people to a night of music-driven, Smothers-Brothers-esque funny stuff including impersonations of the King of Rock-n-Roll and the King of Pop, a twisted look at folk music and Best Blues Performance Ever on the handmonica. (Guess you just had to be there to get that one.)

And if getting a belly full of laughter wasn’t enough, Chick-fil-A stopped in with FREE hot and spicy chicken sandwiches for everyone and coupons for more free sandwiches. Tell me, does a Saturday night get any better than this?

Everybody wonders where the good, clean (and family affordable) comedy has gone. We found it at Journey Church with Bean and Bailey. A good time was had by all, wish you were there!

God blessed our Vacation Bible School with 272 children this year!

Journey's new Worship Minister, Matt Estrin, along with his wife Trista and little daughter Samantha are moving to Greeley.

The Pounding

To honor them and help to stock their pantry shelves in there new home, the folks at Journey held a "Pounding". What that means is we did not hit them with anything, but those that attended showered them with a "pound" of some kind of food or other staple. Many did gift certificates to local stores or restaurants.

New Family at Journey

Matt, Trista, and Samantha, we welcome you to Journey! Visit our website at http://www.enjoythejourney.com to learn more about our ministry and service times to catch Matt and the worship team at Journey in action!

Glen and Pam Fritzler invited all of the Journey folks for a free fun filled day at the Fritzler Corn Maize. Originally, Journey Day at Fritzler's was scheduled for September 12, but we got rained out, it was then scheduled for the following Saturday or for whenever people could come.

It was an exciting day, perfect weather, and plenty of fun things to do. There is the Maise, The Creature, The Pumpkin Patch, Rollercoaster/Train, Corn Cannon, Jumping Pillow, Pedal Go-carts, the 3D-Maze, plus much more and plenty to eat. There are lots of stories floating around about people getting lost in the maize.

Thank you, Glen and Pam, for making this possible, it is was a huge gift to Journey.

The Journey Christian Church family continues to grow with the addition of a new family ministry leader Terry Davis. He and his wife Tammy were welcomed with a pounding. Not as physically intimidating as it sounds; a pounding is an opportunity for church members to meet the new family and send them off with a pound of goods for their pantry.

Check out Terry's bio on the About Us page to learn more about the man and his family.

Here is the picture of our sticker on the back of our Nissan Maxima.

This our story:

We were in a local drug store to pick up our medications and got into a conversation with the pharmacist. When the conversation turned to church and Journey, she said, "Oh, you are the guy's with all those 'Enjoy' bumper stickers, I will have to check it out."

Another time, I had the car washed at the Car Spa car wash, they have an attendant that does some manual prep work with a strong soapy spray. I had forgotten about the sticker, when we came out the other end of the car wash the attendant brought us the sticker and said, "Interesting sticker". He probably checked it out on the web.

Over a dozen mouth watering green, red and white chills were served to a crowed of hungry families and enthusiastic judges at the 2009 chili cook-off. There was also a cinnamon roll competition that featured a variety of unique tastes. This annual event is hosted by Journey’s own Hospitality Ministry.
