This Week's Sermon

On Sunday we'll continue our series Peter: Growing with Jesus with a sermon from Erik on Luke 24:1-12. We invite you to read ahead as a way to prepare for Sunday's service.

Happening this week

  • Good Friday Service:Join us at 7pm on April 14th at Grace Covenant for a Good Friday Service. The Good Friday service is a somber service of Lessons and Songs to help us mark the Passion of Jesus Christ our Lord. This service will be held in partnership with Grace Community Presbyterian Church.
  • Easter Celebration: All are invited to join us on Saturday, April 15th, 4pm to 7pm at the Stone House in Forest Hill Park (4021 Forest Hill Avenue) for our annual Easter celebration. This is a wonderful family-friendly (but NOT family-only) event that we look forward to each year. It's great way to introduce friends and family to the City Church community, so please bring guests along with you! Here's a PDF invite that you are welcome to pass along. The bounce house will open at 4; our egg hunt starts at 4:30; and dinner is at 5. City Church will provide the main dish, so please bring a side dish or dessert to share. We look forward to seeing you!
