After hearing some great questions and listening to some insightful feedback at Sunday's Vision Dinner, we closed our time together with some next steps: first, some important dates over the next few months, as we move toward our official "launch" in January; second, different ways we need people to partner with us at the moment. Those will be coming later this week, but for now, here are some dates we hope you'll put on your calendar, as you consider partnering with The City Church in the coming months:
July 31, 7pm - Apartment Life Info Meeting (meet in the University Village Shopping Center, in front of the Apple Store): One of our planting partners, Apartment Life (www.caresteam.org) places teams of two in strategic apartment complexes, and covers your rent if you commit to "living on mission" in that complex, getting to know folks, throwing events, etc. They're helping find apartments downtown, so if you have interest in moving into that mission field, come get the lowdown (RSVP HERE)
Aug 17, 6:30pm - Kids' Ministry Brainstorming (location TBD): We want to build the best kids' ministry possible, and to do that, we need to input of parents, teachers, nannies, and anyone else with a love and experience with kids! Come help us dream of what KID CITY will look like in 5 and 10 years, then help us take the first step toward reaching that goal! (EMAIL BEN TO RSVP)
Aug 23, 6:00pm - Vision Dinner II (Matt and Angie Hudsons' Home): For anyone who's intrigued, curious, committed, skeptical, or wondering what The City Church is all about, we're hosting a dinner for you! Join us for a free meal, hear our vision, give us feedback and questions, and pray with us - other than that, there's NO COMMITMENT! Feel free to bring your kids, and please help us spread the word! (DETAILS/RSVP HERE)
Sept 13, 6:00pm - Our first Village kicks off (Matt and Angie Hudsons' Home): While The City Church won't officially "launch" until January, we're meeting weekly beginning in September, to build a foundation, spend time together, and give you a taste of "City life" as we build a strong foundation for the church. Each week we'll eat together with great conversation, spend time in scripture, pray for each other, and meet each others' needs. More details coming soon, but DETAILS/RSVP HERE.
Other fall events (details TBA soon): worship/prayer nights, local missions, church/area gatherings, and we're considering a potential fall retreat (October 9-12)! There might be more; let us know if you have questions or interest in helping plan any of these; we'll let you know details as they're worked out. But again, we certainly hope you'll join us Sunday nights beginning September 13!
So that's what's coming up over the next few months; we hope you'll mark these dates on your calendar. And starting tomorrow, I'll share the other part of our next steps: three major ways you can be involved in The City Church right now! Holler if you have questions, and we'll see you at a City Church gathering soon!
