Announcements – June 21st

Shayla Hudson   -  

We want to invite you to be part of The Bridge—a weekly ministry dedicated to helping men and women coming out of prison find a new church home and community. Our next gathering is Tuesday, June 23rd at 6:30 PM, and we need volunteers to help welcome guests, serve food, and join in worship. This is a powerful opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus. If you’d like to get involved, sign up today.

 Serve Day is coming up, and this is a beautiful opportunity for us to love our city in a simple, practical way. In connection with International Service Day, we’ll be serving together on Saturday, July 11th from 1:00 to 3:00 PM at the Greater Chicago Food Depository. We’re looking to fill 20 volunteer slots as we show up together and make a real impact beyond our walls. And this is something the whole family can be part of — kids ages 5 and up are welcome to serve too. Every volunteer will also receive a CityPoint t-shirt, so we can represent together as one church family. Sign up today, and let’s show our community what it looks like when CityPoint shows up with care, purpose, and love.

Summer is here, and we’re making space to slow down, connect, and enjoy community together. Join us for our Grillin’ and Chillin’ Summer Bash Block Party on Sunday, July 12th, right after 11AM service. We’ll have food, games, and good times for the whole family — AND a chance to connect with our neighbors right here on the block. So come ready to eat, laugh, play, and spend time with your church family and our local community. We’re also looking for a few talented Grillers to fire up the grill, and help make this day unforgettable. If you’ve got grillin’ chops and want to help, sign up today!

 

Our Back to School Drive is coming up on August 1st, and this year, instead of uniforms, we’ll be providing students in our community with something every child needs to walk into the new school year with confidence: a brand-new pair of shoes. We’re inviting every person who is able to help us fund this initiative. Your generosity will allow us to bless students and families with new shoes as they prepare for a fresh start this school year.To give, simply text SHOES to 312-313-1800 followed by the dollar amount. You can also add “Shoes” to your Zelle or offering envelope subject line. Let’s come together and help our students step into this school year covered, cared for, and confident.

 

 

Looking for a group of men to walk with you through the real issues of life? Our Men’s Bible Discussion meets twice a month on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays, creating space for honest conversation around topics that matter most to men. This is a safe, supportive environment to grow in faith, learn together, and build meaningful relationships. If you’re looking for connection, accountability, and spiritual growth, sign up today and be part of a dynamic men’s community.

 

Soul Rise Sessions are back!  If you enjoyed the morning calls during the fast, or if you’re simply looking to start your day with your mind and heart focused on Christ, this is for you. Soul Rise Sessions are 30-minute morning prayer calls where we spend a few moments in a quick devotional and then pray together to start the day. It’s a powerful way to grow in your faith and connect with a community pursuing a deeper relationship with the Lord. If you’re seeking more intentional time with God and want to start your mornings centered in Him, we invite you to join us  on Tuesdays and Fridays at 6AM.

We’re circling back to our Brown Bag Food Pantry initiative. We’re still collecting donations to help stock our shelves—but we want to make sure we’re offering quality to those in need. As you bring your items in, please make sure they are new, unopened, and not expired. We had to toss a few donations in April because they weren’t usable, and we want to ensure that what we give is something we’d gladly receive ourselves. If you’d prefer to support financially, you can do that too! Just text the keyword Food Pantry followed by the dollar amount to 312-313-1800. Let’s continue to be a blessing to our community.
