JOURNEY CHURCH OF ROCHESTER MINNESOTA

U-Turn is an event center that serves "Fair trade" coffee and is now open, with limited hours, to the public at the heart of Rochester, MN.

Your generous donations are very much needed and appreciated! 2012 will signal the beginning of our third year of our current three year lease. While we hope and pray to be here for years to come, the first two years have beeen a challenge due to the economy, major construction on Highway 14, and lack of abilty to advertise at a high level.

However, in spite of the financial struggles there are many exciting things happening at Uturn and we are having a positive impact in our city, that is growing almost weekly!

Uturn is now open every....
Momday's for Monday Night Footaball
Tuesday's evenings for "Freedom For Life" recovery ministry.
Wednesday Nights featutring "Ignite" Teen night

Along with almsot every Friday or Saturday featuring a wide range of special events like, Open Mic, Music Concerts, Wedding parties and various group rentals.

Over the course of 2011 we have started to see "regulars" come and shot pool, hang out and use Uturn as a connecting point.

There is much to be grateful about.... yet the reality is we can not do this alone, your help is vital to the continued viabilty of this new mission.

Uturn is far bigger than any one church or organization, it's mission and goals are extremely big and bold

UTurn, is a public expression of our love for our city and it’s people. Behind the fun, music and great coffee is a deep desire for the Churches of Rochester and area ministries to partner together to reach people for Jesus Christ. UTurn is a special environment where people can connect, relationships can develop, and hopefully find their way to Jesus Christ. Our need for funding continues. First and foremost the monthly leasing ($4,500 / month)
At this time, as a church, we do not have the funds necessary to maintain this by ourselves. Only with your generous financial donations can we continue to press forward and make this truly self sustainable. Your investment in Uturn has already impacted and touched the lives of area teenagers, men and women in recovery, sports fans, and those processing the loss of a friends to death and suicide. We can not thank you enough for helping make this happen.
