We look forward to you joining us for the first communion Sunday service of 2025! We'll kick off a time of Worship and a new six part series titled, Bearing Witness:Testifying to life in a new year.The series will be led by & Rev Val Tao & Rev Mark Tao! Throughout the six weeks of this series, we would like to highlight six different aspects of witness that help us to testify the life of God that is available to us so we can live with purpose and joy.  Bearing witness is about a kind of revelation in community which helps us to (in the words of M Shawn Copeland), "make present what has been absent".  In this new year, what are some commitments we want to make present- to give proactive attention so that God can be given the glory in and through us, and so that we can participate in that divine life.

Worship

The good news of the Gospel is that though we are sinners who have broken relationship with God, through the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ we now have access to the presence of God. Worship is our response to that reality.

 

Reconciliation

When we experience the love of God in a personal way, we become “compelled” to move out into the world with a sense of mission. This orientation of mission can be described in a number of different ways, but the word that the Apostle Paul most commonly used was reconciliation:

 

Neighborhood Development

We believe we are to join what God has already been doing in our neighborhood and to learn from and invest into that neighborhood. Humboldt Park is the place where our vision and ministry is rooted, and from there we seek the shalom of our neighborhood, our city, and our world.

 

River City  "Building Together" Update!

So honored to be a part of this amazing chapter of creating an outdoor space!
Big Thanks to you all for your donations and support! Big shout out to our Architect/Project Lead, Jeff Mayra & all the contractors- RCity Leadership/Staff - River City Leadership/Staff!
There has been so much fantastic progress on the lot next door as the space becomes a place of safety and joy for the kids of RCITY, as well as an asset to all of us at River City. While R CITY grants cover most of the materials, donations are still needed to cover the costs for this fantastic space. Please consider giving to this transformational project! Your dollars will immediately be put to work for the future of all the R CITY and River Cityyouth. As we continue with the renovations of the lot next to River City, we invite you to support the project. We invite you to partner with us by giving and sharing the link below with your network, friends, and family.
