Journey Christian Church

Inviting and leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ

CONGRATULATIONS on your interest to explore what First Step is all about at Journey Christian Church. We believe First Step is more than a one-time event. It is an opportunity as a parent to take some time early on to focus on what really matters most in the life of your child. No one will have more influence on your child than YOU! As a church we believe what happens at home is more important than what happens at church. We want to partner with you from the very beginning as you learn to disciple your family.

This event is not infant baptism. We believe that when people are old enough to understand what it means to put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, they should have the opportunity to make that choice for themselves. This event is a celebration of your commitment as a parent to disciple your child to know, love, and follow Jesus.

1. INVITE : Intentionally choose guests that you would like to speak directly into the lives of your family. Whose voice do I need to hear? Whose voice does your child need to hear? Invite those who can give you advice on parenting, hold you accountable, and help you disciple your children. Let them know why you invited them! There will be a total of 10 seats available to include your family and guests.

2. PHOTOS : After you register, you will receive a link to upload 3 photos of your child(ren).

3. HOMEWORK : We will encourage you to write a letter or prayer to your child. You will be asked to share this letter at your table during the celebration event. More information will be sent in an email after you register.

Russia Maps Show 25% of Moscow Without Power Amid Winter Freeze 'Emergency'

R ussian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the nationalization of an ammunition plant in Moscow after a mechanical failure caused tens of thousands of Muscovites to lose heat and water amid freezing temperatures beginning last week.

On January 4, a heating main burst at the Klimovsk Specialized Ammunition Plant in the town of Podolsk, which is around 30 miles south of central Moscow. Since then, tens of thousands of Russians are reported to have no heating in their homes in the Moscow region amid subzero temperatures.

Affected areas include the cities of Khimki, Balashikha, Lobnya, Lyubertsy, Podolsk, Chekhov, Naro-Fominsk, and Podolsk, a map published by a Russian Telegram channel and shared on other social media sites shows.

Other Russian media outlets reported that in Moscow, residents of Balashikha, Elektrostal, Solnechnogorsk, Dmitrov, Domodedovo, Troitsk, Taldom, Orekhovo-Zuyevo, Krasnogorsk, Pushkino, Ramenskoye, Voskresensk, Losino-Petrovsky, and Selyatino are also without power.

That means that in total, more than a quarter of Moscow's cities have been hit with power outages and a lack of heating.

Newsweek has contacted Russia's Foreign Ministry for comment via email.

Many residents have taken to publishing video appeals on social media to complain about their freezing conditions. In one clip, people living in Moscow say that they are left with no choice but to warm their homes with gas stoves, heaters, and "whatever else we can find." Others said they are lighting fires in the streets to keep warm.

Andrei Vorobyov, governor of the Moscow region, announced on Tuesday that Putin ordered the ammunition plant to be nationalized because two of its owners have been "located abroad." He didn't name the individuals.

"We received the right to take control of this boiler house within the framework of an emergency," Vorobiev said, adding that the plant's boiler room was managed "very poorly" and there was "virtually no qualified competent personnel."

Russia's Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case over Klimovsk Specialized Ammunition Plant not meeting safety requirements.

On Tuesday, the committee said that because of the incident, the deputy head of Podolsk's administration, the head of the plant's boiler house, and the general director of the ammunition plant had been detained.

Residents of Selyatino have described the situation as "some kind of struggle for survival," Russian Telegram channel ASTRA reported.

Power outages have also struck St. Petersburg, Rostov, Volgograd, Voronezh, Primorsky Territory, and Yekaterinburg.

Letter for Retreat on April 20, 2024

Dear Members and Friends of Maplewood Baptist Church:

There is much to share. God’s goodness continues as we travel our journey of faith. First, here is a little history review: In 1867, a group of believers from First Baptist Church in Malden met together in the Maplewood area. They started a Tuesday night gathering, then a Sunday school to minister to people in the Maplewood area of the city. They met in their homes and with the Methodist Church. They started to build a chapel for the Sunday school, and before it was finished, it blew down in a gale wind in September 1869. They rebuilt and it was completed in March 1870. On October 18, 1871, they officially incorporated as Maplewood Baptist Church. Since 1871, wars, pandemics and other challenges faced the congregation. A fire destroyed the building in 1937 on a Sunday. It is said that the choir sang as the people filed out of the building. Next, here is some more recent news: With a deteriorating building and limited resources, Maplewood Baptist sold our building 2014. The congregation continued to meet in the building, now occupied by a school until the recent pandemic made that impossible. We met virtually with electronic devices or outdoors in the parsonage yard or Lincoln Park when weather permitted. Grateful for provisions, challenges, blessings, and surprises, we met for about a year in a chapel space at First Baptist Church of Melrose. First Baptist Church of Malden invited Maplewood Baptist to worship together. It met unique needs for each congregation—one needing a pastor and the other needing a building. Since November 20, 2022 we have been praising God together. Pastor Gary McClenthen is faithfully preaching from the Word. We are meeting new people, finding common interests, seeing spiritual growth, and ministering to the community and beyond through outreach and discipleship. We have begun to see that this experiment is also a homecoming. None of us were around when those members of First Baptist decided to focus ministry in the Maplewood area of Malden, we see now that the mission they undertook blessed many. It appears to be time for us to return home to First Baptist. The leadership of both churches agree that we are not just joining together to survive or try to sustain what was in the past. We are on a journey to discover and be obedient to the calling that God has for us to represent Jesus well to our community. We have gathered together intentionally via Zoom and in person for months seeking God’s guidance in what steps are next and what direction to go. We are preparing to form a new, temporary advisory board made up of leadership from both churches. We will seek to develop new bylaws. We will evaluate, 1 experiment, and seek God’s wisdom in polity, worship, and outreach. We recognize that there will be challenges as we face losses as well as new gifts. We will pray, wait, and walk forward as the way opens. We are excited to be on this journey together. We will be bringing updates from time to time as to what the advisory board is doing. When there are proposed changes, they will be brought forward to be voted on by the two congregations. To those of you who have been unable to attend in person, we have missed you. We are grateful for your part in the history of our church fellowship. You have shared your gifts, your resources, and your presence when you were able, and we thank God for you. We pray God’s blessing on us all as we continue to seek him and his wisdom as we journey together in faith, love, joy, hope, and peace. On Saturday, April 20, 2024, we all are invited to gather for a “It’s Been Better Together” Retreat from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at First Baptist Church, 493 Main Street in the fellowship hall, which is accessible. The two congregations met together in January for a Town Hall meeting. That meeting concluded with participants looking to the church leadership to answer the question, “What do we do next?” Pastor Ron Bouthillette, TABCOM’s Associate Executive Minister in Church Relations, has been invited to be our guest speaker and facilitate conversation around that question. Lunch will be served. A Zoom option will be available. Meeting Information: …. We would love to see you and hear your thoughts. Please let us know that you are coming for our planning.
