UPCOMING at City Life

Life Groups and Bible studies are 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 can be found in the Lobby or on the Life Groups page. Sign up in person at church, by filling out the online form at this link… or you can scan this QR code and sign up.

If you are a parent of a child in Kid City, or if you are a member of City Life, would you consider serving twice in Kid City this summer? We have an AMAZING team of teachers and assistants who serve all year. during the summer we have some weeks to fill as our regulars have some time away for vacations. Would you consider signing up to help in just two services this summer? We can use both teachers and helpers. You would serve in one service and then attend the other. The sign-up sheet is on the bulletin board outside of Kid City. thanks for being open to helping in this important way!

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. 

How do you tell your family story? Maybe you tell your kids the story of how you came to faith in Jesus. But how do you tell about your whole family’s story? What common themes of redemption run through your whole family? City Life is hosting a workshop from Mel Trotter Ministries to help parents craft their family testimony. Join us on Wednesday, June 25, at 6:00 p.m. for this catered event. There is childcare available too. Please mark “FAMILY” on your Communication Card (or contact the church), and we’ll get you an official sign-up link. Reservations are necessary.

Join us on Sunday, June 29 at 7:00 p.m. for ice cream at Pleasant Park. We are looking for a family or a group of friends to volunteer to help with set up, serving ice cream, and clean up. If you want a one time, low-commitment, way to volunteer this is the perfect opportunity for you! Write “Ice cream” on a Communication Card and someone will connect with you about details!

Every child has a unique purpose in life and a place where they belong. We want to help them discover where they come from and why their life matters through the fun of sports and arts in a playful, explorative environment. Unlike a traditional vacation Bible school, “Made For This” camp is an intentional way to connect to the neighborhood each year in a way that feels familiar. We are purposefully shifting from VBS to a yearly sports and arts camp that will help us make long-lasting connections in our neighborhood and create an opportunity for us to offer additional camps throughout the year. We are so excited for the direction the Lord is moving us in and look forward to our first “Made For This” camp on the evenings of August 4-7.

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!
