LOCAL CHURCH CONFERENCE

The Local Church Conference (LCC) is our annual business meeting. In this meeting, church members elect certain positions, receive important reports, and hear important updates. All City Life regular attendees are encouraged to attend, and members are especially encouraged to be present. Members have “a voice and a vote,” but we like regular attendees to be present as well.
This year the LCC will be held in two parts.

  • Sun, May 18 | Special Session of the LCC after the 11:00 a.m. service. This SHORT (15 min or less) special session will be held to specifically vote on delegates to the Great Lakes Regional Conference (June 7). This is the only business we will conduct at this special session.
  • Sun, June 22 | LCC at 6:00 p.m.-7:30 p.m. This will be our regular LCC in which we complete the remainder of the voting, receive reports, and look to next year! We’ll be sharing dinner together too. Please plan to be part of this important time together.

DRIVERS NEEDED FOR TRANSPORTATION TEAM

Our transportation team is looking for a few more drivers! This would be a great way to get involved with a once-a-month commitment. It is also a great way to connect with other City Lifers while providing a vital service! Please write “Transportation” on your communication card and someone will contact you with further details!

SHOWER OUTREACH MINISTRY

Our Monday morning shower ministry is seeking volunteers to join our team!
