Did you know that in the Church calendar, the Christmas season doesn’t end on Christmas Day? After the twelve days of Christmastide, we reach a significant day - Epiphany. What is this church holiday all about, and how might it change the way I live in 2024?

The mission of New City Men is to help men live in light of the gospel of Jesus Christ by growing in their knowledge of and love for God and neighbor.

I’ve been thinking lately about the pace of life as we know it. Many of us are constantly running around throughout the day trying to juggle a myriad of responsibilities, kids, extra-curricular activities, and the billions of thoughts and ideas passing through our brain at any second. It’s a lot. When did life get this way? Better question, how did we let it?

“Oh great God, be small enough to hear me now,”  I cried out through tears.  Be small enough to hear my ache, my hurt, my fear; be small enough to meet me here.  And again and again, my Jesus made himself small, to meet me in my smallness, in my fear, in my doubt.

We can look back at the Scriptures which followed after Adam and Eve were banished from the garden and see that the Lord never did give up on his creation. He has never taken his eye off what he made for his purposes. As his eye is ever on the sparrow, it is on mankind.

At our Partners' Dinner last night, we announced an easy little fundraiser - Sponsor a Chair! Help us get the sanctuary chairs we need for the new building by giving $40 per chair.

The question “How are we made right with God?” has been the focus of my study recently. Since I’ve been a Christ-follower for many years, this question and its answer seemed to me elementary and simple. Even if you haven’t considered the question or its implications, it’s easy to give the Sunday School answer (Jesus!) and go on about your day, likely not giving it much more thought.
