What an amazing discussion we had last Wednesday night! I cannot believe the caliber of people the Lord has brought to this fantastic group. Renee' and I leave so pumped up about each of you every week and look forward to the next gathering. This week we almost finished Chapter 2. It's funny how you touch on one thing in the Word and God begins to move us in many directions and many topics.
This week, we will finish Chapter 2 and begin Chapter 3. Take a few moments to look over the first 10 verses. Make sure to post any comments or testimonies this morning so they can be included in the newsletter. This will encourage others in the 20 Thirties to keep up the good work. We look forward to seeing you Wednesday night! God bless.
Since no one posted a testimony this week, I wanted to take the opportunity to do so for my personal account regarding 20 Thirties.
This group means so much to both Renee and me. We leave the group so fired up at what God is showing us in His Word every week. It is also just as exciting, if not more; to see the life change that is happening with so many of you. Small groups for us are where the rubber meets the road. Taking time out of our busy lives is not always easy. But in the case of this Small Group...It is always worth it. Renee and I have met so many friends through this Young Adults group that we are praying last a life time.
The simple truth is.... God's Word is alive and changes our life every time we read it! It is the most powerful Book in the world today and that will ever be written, past, present, and future. If we discipline ourselves to read daily... the skies are the limit in God. In fact...there are no limits :)
Thank you for your faithfulness each week to be a part of what God is doing in Orange Park. I look forward to seeing each of you there tonight.

Nathan and I would like to take this opportunity to express to everyone who has made 20thirties possible either by attending or ministering that WE LOVE YOU & THANK GOD FOR YOU!!!
May you all continue hard after God and realize that HE IS OUR ALL SUFFICIENT ONE AND HE CARES DEEPLY FOR EACH ONE OF US!
For those of you who may not know Nathan and I felt God tugging on our heart to move to Jacksonville this past year and we followed.... blindly I must say! For the purposes that we originally conceived in our minds were far different from the ones that God had in store. Oh but how GREAT THAT HE IS that HE has never left us but only urged us on to follow HIS lead. And that is what we have done. Thankfully that has brought us to Journey church.... A church with such a sweet innocent passion for God that we can't help but fall in love with each family that we meet!
So to you all we must say THANK YOU! Thank You for being a part of Journey church! Thank You for being who you are and not allowing the enemy to distort the beauty of God's creation! Thank You for welcoming us into your family with open arms! Thank You for being ... Our Friends! How precious and Dear to us you have all become in such a short time! You are all so priceless!!!!
We'll love you forever!
The Ellison Family! :)
