This Sunday
This week in our study of Luke’s gospel, Jesus sends out 72 disciples in pairs to go ahead of him into the towns to heal people and tell them that the Kingdom of God has come near. We’ll have Michael Vaughan with us again as a guest preacher as we learn about the mission of Jesus from Luke 10:1-16
Join us this Sunday at 10am for worship. Come renew your heart with the promises of God in the hearing of his word and the fellowship of his people!

Activities & Announcements
Restorative Work
We’ll have a congregational meeting on Sunday, November 9, at 6pm to share our completed Mission, Vision, and Core Values and talk about next steps as CityChurch continues forward in the mission of the gospel. The meeting should last about an hour.
Learn more about this and other steps in our restorative work through the link below.
Food Drive
With the cut-off of SNAP benefits fast approaching, we anticipate that many families in our community will be needing assistance with food over the coming weeks. We want to support the work of local ministries and food pantries to help meet this need.
We’ll put a bin in the lobby to collect non-perishable food items to take to the Haven. Their biggest needs are shelf stable items (mac&cheese, instant mashed potatoes, pasta, pasta sauce) and canned goods (canned vegetables, soups, chili, canned beans). These items will be the best for families we are serving and the easiest for families to “stretch out” over the course of the month.
YoungLife Banquet
Mark your calendars: Bristol YoungLife will be having a fundraising banquet on November 16. The banquet is a great opportunity to learn more about YoungLife’s ministry and how you can partner with them in their important work to bring the hope of the gospel of Jesus to teenagers in our city.
Downtown Christmas Open House
We’ve been asked to participate in Bristol’s Christmas Open House on November 24 by giving out hot chocolate during the festivities! We’re looking for volunteers to organize the effort as well as folks to help on the day of. Let Taylor know if you’re interested in helping with this opportunity to engage in the life of our community!
Employment Needs
Due to our location in downtown Bristol, we’re glad to be a place where people in our community come seeking refuge and help. A need that we hear frequently is that many of these folks are looking for work as a means to provide for themselves and often as a way to get off the streets. As we seek to love our neighbors in Bristol, we want to help meet these physical needs as an opportunity to show them the love of Jesus that can meet their deepest need.
If you know of anywhere in our community that is hiring for simple work and could be a good opportunity for folks in need, please let our deacon team know so we help make connections.
Small Groups
Small groups are the place where life happens together. Sharing our struggles and pointing each other to Jesus is our primary agenda. If you're not part of a small group, just ask! We have a variety of groups that meet across the region, including at the church on Sunday mornings before church.
If you’re looking for a group to join, let us know here.
Church Membership
If you are interested in joining the CityChurch family, please let one of the elders know, and they will arrange a time to meet with you!
We essentially want to hear your spiritual story and how you came to faith in Christ. We look forward to hearing more stories and receiving more into membership!
Membership has nothing to do with being in a club, but merely affirms your commitment to CityChurch and your willingness to submit to the spiritual leadership of the elders.
