UPCOMING at City Life

Especially if City Life is your home church—we want you to be here! We are celebrating milestones in our two-year Kingdom Foundations campaign, and we are excited about how God is moving and what we get to be part of! If you’re newer to City Life and don’t know yet what Kingdom Foundations is, we will catch you up!
Also, after the 11:00 a.m. service, we will have our annual Chili Cook-off! We are really excited for the competition between the spiciest chili, white chili, and red chili. There will be prizes! We still need a few more entries in the contest, so signup at the Welcome Table if you can be part of it! Be ready to serve your chili right after 2nd service. Serving cups will be provided. Please bring any additional toppings for your chili if desired. In addition to that, it’s also City Life’s 19th birthday! It’s going to be a fun, big day. Come and be part of it all on this day that we celebrate Kingdom Foundations: The Second Half!

City Life is hosting our first chapel at Mel Trotter Ministries on Thursday, Oct. 31. (We do this on the fifth Thursday of the month.) MTM is doing a big outreach day with the intent of getting lots of people to come to chapel that day. We’re looking for people to assist with: 1) providing nice, homemade refreshments, and 2) general greeting and relationship-building. This is a one-time commitment for Oct. 31. To help, please contact Quese or email him at [email protected].

Life Groups have started up, but a few are beginning this week too. It’s not too late to jump in and get involved! Check out all the offerings on our website or scan the QR code. Sign up in person at church or by filling out the online form at this link or via this QR code. There are also links and descriptions of the groups offered on the Life Groups page.

LEAVES & MORE FUNDRAISER
Do you need help cleaning your yard up for winter, raking leaves, or doing any other clean up tasks? The Youth Group is here to help! Grab a flyer from the lobby and get signed up for a slot on October 26, November 2, or November 9 to have the youth come help. Cost is $50 per hour per set of two teens (and an adult chaperone).

PARENT NIGHT OUT FUNDRAISER
Do you need a night out to work on holiday prep, or just to finish a sentence without your kids interrupting? Bring your kids to the church on November 2 or November 9 and have a parents night out with childcare provided by the City Life Youth Group from 4:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. Cost is $20 for 1 child, $30 for 2 children, or $40 for 3+ children.

CORN MAZE & BONFIRE
Youth in 6th-12th grade are invited to join us for a bonfire on Saturday, October 26 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Cost is $12 per student. Talk to Pastor Phil for details.

Our next all volunteer leadership training is October 21, from 6:00 p.m.-8:30 p.m. all those who serve on any ministry team are required to attend. Please check with the leader of your ministry team if you have any questions.

Stay after the 11:00 a.m. service on October 20 for lunch and connection! Meet upstairs in the Youth Room.

SHOWER TRUCK MINISTRY UPDATE
We are pleased to announce that City Life will be continuing the partnership with Mel Trotter Ministries shower outreach through the end of November. We are taking the next three months to determine if we have the volunteer capacity to continue this ministry long-term. If you have considered helping out on Monday mornings (either regularly or once in awhile), we’d love to have you come and assist!
This summer we served nearly 300 people with showers, meals, clothing, and housing help. There are still people to reach through this ministry and we are looking forward to seeing where God takes us.
