This Sunday
This week in our series from the Gospel of Luke, we rejoin Jesus at a meal in the house of a leader of the Pharisees in Luke 14:12-24. After healing man on the Sabbath and correcting the Pharisees’ self-righteous pride with a parable, he tells another parable about the Kingdom of God as a great banquet. We’ll learn from Jesus how we are both unexpected guests of this banquet and servants of the master, sent out to the highways and hedges that his house may be filled.
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
Family Sunday
Save the date for our next Family Sunday on May 31!
On Family Sundays we emphasize worshiping together as the Family of God. We have an abbreviated service particularly aimed toward engaging kids who stay for the full service, with a potluck lunch afterwards where we eat together.
Keep an eye out for more details and sign-up link in the coming weeks.
Dinner for Homeschool Co-op Formal
A local homeschool co-op is having their formal next door to us at Warehouse 817 on May 8, and we want to take the opportunity to serve these students by hosting a dinner for them beforehand. But we can’t pull it off without your help! There are all kinds of opportunities to serve with planning beforehand, food prep, serving the day of, and much more. If you’re willing to help, please take this quick 3-question survey linked below.
You can bring any questions to Tara Balcom or Kim Barnett!
Book Study
Hugh Belcher is leading a study through Truths That Transform by D. James Kennedy. The book offers an accessible and easy to digest overview of the teachings of our historic reformed faith, with chapters covering basic doctrines like the sovereignty of God, justification, sanctification, and perseverance of the saints.
The study meets on Thursday nights at 6pm at the church building. If you have any questions or would like to join the study, either speak with Hugh to get your copy of the book or let us know so we can put you in touch.
Elder Session
The elders are working to make provision for future elder candidates to be nominated by the church membership. Our bylaws currently prescribe that elder candidates are to be selected by the existing elder session. However, we believe that in order to create structures that foster accountability and resist abuse, allowing for CityChurch to continue to grow healthily for years to come, this responsibility should rightly be entrusted to church members. For this reason, the elders are currently working to draft amendments to our bylaws in order implement these changes.
We ask you to join us in praying for this process and for the Lord to raise up godly men to serve in leadership. We will begin accepting nominations for elder candidates once the necessary amendments have been made.
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.
