CHC Newsletter: FIRST Prayer Night Tonight » City Harbor Church

Save the Date

FIRST January 4th – 24th

Going without food for the sake of more prayer, seeking God, is fasting. You may choose to go without social media and/or various forms of entertainment. You may choose to go without food for a meal, for a day, or for a number of days. This spiritual discipline can help us remove clutter in our thoughts, emotions, or spirit. It may also increase our sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. Please consider more time in prayer, Bible reading/memorization, and worship. As part of our FIRST focus these next three weeks, we will be meeting on Wednesday nights to worship God and pray together.

Family Meal – Sunday, January 25th

We will be celebrating together with a Family Meal after our Sunday church service on January 25th. Please bring food to share if you are able. A sign-up form will be made available soon.

Jesus Night – Wednesday, January 28th

If we want more people to interact with Jesus Christ we should be involved. Please pray and ask the Holy Spirit to help you identify who you should share Jesus with. Think about it and jot down some ideas. Pray about it more. Our monthly “Jesus Nights” give an opportunity to invite people who would be interested in hearing you share your Jesus-story.

Sharing Life Together

Pastor’s Weekly

“The enemy doesn’t fear your potential. He fears your surrender.” – Morris Cerullo
It’s time for wholehearted devotion, holding nothing back. Please give time and energy to thoughtful prayer, interacting with God. “When you pray, speak like God’s ambassador, not a beggar.” – Morris Cerullo
Ask God to open our spiritual eyes to what He sees and wants us to see. Pray God’s Kingdom come and will be done, in us, in our church, in our families, homes, neighborhoods, city, state. God is already at work in 2026. You do not yet know all that God wants to do. God is unlimited. You may find Ephesians 3:14-21 encouraging to your prayer and reflection.

Church Facility Update

Please note that the new bathroom on the 3rd floor is available for us to use (in addition to the bathrooms on the main floor and the basement).

Good to Know

Logos Bible Study

God speaks! Are we listening? Do we give the Scripture the study it deserves?

The tool that I have found to be the best is called, Logos.

The Pour Over

Get strategic about news sources. Reduce stress. Think. Pray through a thoughtful approach to current events.
This free email that has been helpful to me, in keeping up with the news, better than several paid services I’ve used. The Pour Over: https://www.web.thepourover.org/subscribe?ref=Kw6vI7VQq4

Christian Music Playlist

Plenty of people share negativity on the subject of Christian musical expression without having heard what we listen to. The Gospel Coalition has posted a “Best Music of 2025” playlist, including their honorable mentions, which is diverse and may be beneficial to you (TheGospelCoalition.org). Try this playlist as well.
