Wednesdays in February and Beyond!
Beginning next Wednesday, February 5th, we will go back to the Small Group format but with a slight twist and new content. Can’t wait to see you there!
Church Facility Workday on Saturday, February 8th
When: 9:00 am to 12:00 pm
Who: Anyone who wants to get a little dusty, maybe a bit paint-splattered and spend time with your church family.
What: We have an amazing chance to help make some changes in the Fellowship Hall and main City Kids room. We will be sorting and organizing CHC’s belongings that have been stored on the stage and then moving everything to dedicated storage areas. We will also be able to paint the large City Kids room one color!
What should you bring? Your water bottle and your lunch to eat as you chat with everyone else who comes.
CHC Anniversary and Celebration Party on Sunday, March 2nd
This is to celebrate you! You don’t need to bring anything, except maybe a game you’d like to play with others.
Sharing Life Together
Made to Move Book
Check our book table for this helpful jump start to 2025! Pastor Derrill Corbin, of Mannahouse, brings us a heartfelt exciting and practical message. As we follow Jesus together momentum builds. We can move closer to God, each other, and the people around us. We find vision and our next steps in extending the Jesus Movement.
Request for Photos
We are working on making changes to the church website. We would love to include pictures that you have taken of our church family or events! If you have photos that you are willing to let us use, please send them to ben@cityharborchurch.com or rebecca@cityharborchurch.com. Thank you!
Pastor’s Weekly
What an amazing, but also difficult FIRST 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting! We’ve helped each other through emotional, spiritual and practical difficulties, but we’ve also seen an increase in the presence of God Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. Have you taken time to consider how to continue some of the habits of spending more time with Jesus for the rest of this year? How would this change you? What answers to prayer might you see? Who will come to Jesus because of this? What will our weekly gatherings be like?
Isaiah 55:6 says, “Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near.” The Lord is near to you right now! He wants to spend time with you and impart righteousness, peace and joy to you!
This Week
