Inside Out Weekend
Calling all CityBridge!
One of our core beliefs is that, as a part of the Church, we are commanded to be engaged in His Mission. Therefore, we are devoting a whole weekend in April to looking beyond the four walls of our building. The goal is to love and serve our neighbors with our community groups and ministry partners in the name of Christ. Mark your calendars and clear your schedules…on Saturday, April 25 & Sunday, April 26 CityBridge is being turned Inside Out.
Serving Opportunities
In Your Community Group
We are asking every community group to source their own service project for Inside Out Weekend that impacts the surrounding community where they are planted. This could be helping a neighbor with the upkeep of their home, cleaning a neighborhood park, or something else entirely. We trust that you know the capabilities and gifts of your group, as well as the needs of your neighbors. Peter admonishes that “each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms” (1 Peter 4:10 NIV). It will help our team to know what your group is doing. Click the link below and let us know your plan!
Skilled in Repair/Maintenance/Landscaping?
Are you skilled in construction, repair, home maintenance, and/or landscaping? Please reach out to us cityengagement@citybridgechurch.org We may have a special service project just for you!
Not in a Group or Need a Project?
For those who are either not in a community group or cannot otherwise serve in the requested capacity due to a limitation or special circumstances, do not worry. We have coordinated several opportunities with trusted partners in the area for you! Look through the details for each opportunity below and follow the link to register.
