CityLight 23/3 Update

Dear City Light Family,
Lots of changes this week and a few events on the way...so check it all out below. Also, please keep each other in prayer this week (see list).
 
This week at City Light:
Time Change: remember to forward your clocks one hour this Saturday...otherwise you will be part of the set up crew for City Light on Sunday.... we could use the help :)

Men's Breakfast: This Saturday @ 9am. More HERE.

Passover: Next Wednesday (31/3) at 6pm we will have a Passover celebration. If you & a friend would like to participate you must RSVP ( patrickivetka@gmail.com ) by Sunday 28/3 at the latest. More info HERE.


Dig Deep: Wrestling with Gen 4 this week.
Where? Higgins Home (Mateja Bela 8)
When? Friday 26/3
Time? 7:30pm
RSVP: chadshively@gmail.com
Love One Another: I was told this week about a local family that some of us are praying for that is having some real financial difficulties. John says, "..Let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and truth." (1Jn 3:18). So, I was thinking a good response would be to set out a box at church this next Sunday. If you want to fill it with non-perishable food items to simply bless this family that would be awesome!

Sunday School: We would like to have the rest of April's Children's ministry teaching rotation filled up. Open dates are: 18/4, 25/4, 2/5.
If you can cover any of these dates please email: patrickivetka@gmail.com

CityLight News / Prayer 5/3

Dear CityLight family,

I just needed to forward a few urgent announcements, a few less urgent ones, and community prayer requests.
Blessings,
Patrick + Ivetka

Dig Deep: Bible study is postponed until next week (12/3)

HELP: We are in critical need of individuals (in teams of two) to join into the teaching rotation for Sunday School. Anyone can do it - you don't even have to have kids to try it! All materials are provided. Please pray for this ministry, it is really one of the most important parts of the church!

Upcoming openings/dates/themes:
7/3 - Jesus & the Pearl of Great Price (Matt.13)
21/3 - Jesus, the Vine (Jn 15)
28/3- Jesus, Our Hero (Jn 18-19)
4/4 - Easter Sunday: Jesus has Risen! (Jn 20 -21)
Sign-up: send a quick email to patrickivetka@gmail.com

Important for parents: If you have children in the program we would encourage you to join in the teaching rotation. Without your help we won't be able to provide this service for your children week after week. Together we can really invest well into the life of our children as a community. Pray about it, choose a date and simply sign up!

Guest Speaker: on March 14th pastor Laci Gyugyi, from Calvary Chapel Esztergom (HU), will share the Word with us... get ready, it's going to be good!
