UPCOMING at City Life

Summer Life Groups are coming up quickly! Life Groups are Bible studies designed to get everyone involved in a weekly connection with other City Lifers outside of Sunday morning. Our hope is that every City Lifer would join a ministry team AND be part of a Life Group. Details on this season’s Life Groups will be available in the Lobby. Sign up in person at church or by filling out the online form at this link. There are also links and descriptions of the groups offered on the Life Groups page.

The next Mel Trotter Chapel partnership led by City Life is on Thursday, May 29. We are looking for a few volunteers to bring a snack for chapel guests (bags of chips, cookies, fruit, fruit bars, and meat and cheese trays are always a hit) as well as a few volunteers to help host as greeters and food servers. Please sign up in the lobby if you are able to provide a treat or help with chapel this month. Volunteers need to arrive at City Life at 5:00 p.m. to carpool over to Mel Trotter together.

The City Life office will be closed on Monday, May 26 in observance of the holiday. The office will be open for the remainder of the week with regular office hours. MTM Shower outreach will still take place on Monday, May 26 from 10:00 a.m. to noon.

Do you love to shop on Amazon? We have the wish list for you! Help support the City Life Youth mission trip to Standing Rock by purchasing items from our wish list. The items must be sent directly to the town we are staying in so please make sure the items are sent to Laura Gunther (gift registry address.) Scan the QR code!

Join us on Sunday, June 22, from 6:00 p.m.-7:30 p.m. for the 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 would like regular attendees to be present as well. This meeting will be in person in the sanctuary. It will not be available online. This will be our regular LCC in which we complete the remainder of the yearly voting, receive reports, and look to next year! We’ll be sharing dinner together potluck style. Please plan to be part of this important time together. 

Join us for a cookout after the second service on Fathers’ Day. We will grill hamburgers and hot dogs and are asking for others to sign up to bring side dishes. The sign-up sheet can be found at the Welcome table.

Our Monday morning shower ministry is seeking volunteers to join our team! If you’re looking for a meaningful way to connect with and impact City Life’s first neighbors, join us on Mondays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. or write “shower ministry” on a Communication card to connect with someone for more details!
