The Church is SOARING!

City Life Church Update from Pastor Tim

THE CHURCH IS NOT CLOSED, ONLY THE BUILDING!

I still believe that this crisis can be the greatest hour for the church! That’s my perspective, and from my perspective, The Church Is Soaring!

Over the past few weeks, we’ve adapted our methods to continue to BE the church amid uncertain times.

As a ministry, we are creating more opportunities to engage than ever before, and it grows week by week. On a “slow” week we have a minimum of FIVE Online Services or Bible Studies. Additional prayer meetings and other online gatherings are heavily attended as well.
Our Children’s Ministry is providing weekly video lessons (The Greatest Adventure). Our Youth Ministry has also launched a podcast (The Legacy Podcast).

On top of that, City Lifers have been donating food and water, which is being given to Beautiful Feet, a neighborhood homeless outreach whose needs are great at this time. Plus, we have been able to help out individuals and families in our church who are in need at this time.
More people are attending our prayer meetings than ever before. In fact, there is another one tonight. Click this link and join me at 7:00 PM: JOIN THE MEETING

Prayer requests continue to flood in, and we are posting them to our prayer team group. Also, various church leaders, Church Elders, Staff and Key Team members are creating Life Articles that address key issues we are facing during this crisis, which are available on the City Life App.

City Life Church is SOARING! If you’ve not yet engaged with what’s happening, the door is wide open through any of the events listed below.

Rebecca told me last week that I’m now working more than ever before. I think it’s just because I’m doing 80% of my work from the house, but she’s probably correct. And the truth is, I’m loving it!

My family is doing well. Preston continues to office from the City Life Building and has taken over several of our newly created areas of ministry. We still have “family night” once a week, and I enjoy getting to see his wife, Dakota and my granddaughter, Olivia. We even get to babysit her sometimes!

Devin has been working from the house for a month now. I think he enjoys going to work in shorts and I know for a fact he’s glad he doesn’t have to deal with traffic going to and from Alliance each day. He’s not missing those tolls, either! He and Layla are still diligently planning their wedding on July 26th, and he’ll be moving into his apartment in the next few weeks.

Ian has been laid off from his job, as the company has been forced to shut down during this time. He’s still getting up early, though, and spending his days working on his ministry courses, interning at the church, and creating video content for our Children’s Ministry.

Thank God we are all healthy and strong!

Have a GREAT week and please engage with our ministry over the next few days. Below are NINE different opportunities. This is YOUR CHURCH.

The Church is SOARING!

I’ll see you in (Online) Church,

Pastor Tim
