Encouragement Through Man-to-Man Ministry (and more)
"Again and again, if I can just get out there and in my weakness look to God by faith, he is faithful and kind to show up in all his riches!" Robbie and Minh Loan McNerney, City Church ministry partners currently serving in Vietnam with Training Evangelistic Leadership, share encouragement and exciting updates...

McNerney Prayer Update
"I find it is good for my soul to be forced to interact regularly for the sake of the gospel with unpredictable slices of lost humanity." One of the reasons our partnership with international missionaries is so helpful is that they point us back to truths that we can insulate ourselves from.
Stewards of Children Training
Typically, our mentality toward the idea of child sexual abuse is, "it won't happen to my child, or anyone I know." We hope and pray that this is true, but, based on the statistic that 1 in 10 children will be sexually abused before they are 18, the reality is, you will most likely know someone who was sexually abused at some point in their life, if you don't already. City Church will host Stewards of Children Training, a nationally recognized child sexual abuse prevention training that educates adults to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. This course will take place on Sunday, April 19th from 1:00pm to 3:30pm in room 311 at Grace Covenant.
Lent 2015: Seven Deadly Sins, Seven Faithful Virtues

Advent Events and Resources
Here are some of the ways that we will celebrate Advent together this year...
Thinking About...Empathy
From Erik: "You know that thing that happens when you encounter a new idea and then everywhere you look you see more examples of it? That has been happening to me around the topic of empathy."
Thinking About...Built Environment
Innocently enough, last week I was reading an article on CityLab from The Atlantic. I really must have been trying to avoid work because the article was about road lane widths.
Thinking About...the Common Good
Erik shares his thoughts on the common good and how working towards it with people from all walks of life "begins to build trust in places where the commonwealth has long eroded."
