Announcements – December 21st

Shayla Hudson   -  

As we enter the Christmas season, we’re excited to celebrate with our CityPoint Family through a variety of meaningful and festive activities. There’s no better way to embrace the joy, hope, and togetherness of this season than by spending it with one another. Mark your calendar and join us for our upcoming events this December. Let’s make this Christmas one to truly remember!

 

We’re keeping the Christmas celebration going with our Ugly Sweater & Cookie Exchange Day on next Sunday, December 21st! Come dressed in your most outrageous Christmas sweater. After each service, join us for our annual Cookie Exchange. Bring your favorite store-bought cookies to share and enjoy community as you sample a variety of treats.

We’re wrapping up the month—and the year—with our Sneaker-Themed New Year’s Eve Service on December 31st at 6:00 PM!  Join us for a powerful and uplifting time of worship as we come together one last time in 2025 to give thanks, reflect, and step into the new year with expectation. Wear your flyest sneakers and meet us here at CityPoint for an unforgettable night of worship, community, and celebration.

 

Start the year off right by participating in our 21-Day Sober Fast, January 5-25th. This fast is an act of surrender—choosing sobriety in every form and intentionally creating space for God to work in us. Where addiction, unhealthy habits, or misplaced dependencies have left cracks, God steps in as the Master Restorer. Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken objects with gold or silver, honoring the cracks as part of the object’s story rather than something to hide. Throughout Scripture, the testimonies of imperfect people have been the foundation of our faith—powerful reminders that God works through surrendered lives, not flawless ones. To join, sign up here today, and watch how God transforms you through your sacrifice.

 

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**Soul Rise Sessions will resume 2/3/26, after our 21-Day Sober Fast!**

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.
