P.S. Is your New Year’s resolution to spend more time studying scripture? Praying with others? Talking with others about things that matter? That is an easy resolution! Just talk to Trevor about joining an online or in-person Life Group!

Sunday Service - The word for 2025 is...

Image description: Photograph of a red fabric theatre curtain being drawn back to reveal text that reads “Revealing the Cityview word ”

Happy New Year! During this Sunday’s service Trevor will reveal the Cityview Word of the Year. Join us in person at 10 am!

Past words of the year were “courage” (2016), “purpose” (2017), “community” (2018), “grow” (2019), “freedom” (that was a bit of a challenge in 2020 given the rise of Covid-19 and all that we needed to do to keep each other safe), “faith” (2021), “awaken” (2022), “more” (2023) and “listen” (2024). Yes, there is often a quiz. Consider yourself warned.

Any guesses what 2025 will be? Wild speculation is about to begin in the congregation’s WhasApp chat.

For those who are not local or are not able to attend in person, we will continue to live-stream Sunday services on our YouTube Channel.

We will explore a theological perspective on waiting and hear from folk in our community who have a practical perspective and knowledge of waiting on God

We will celebrate the third Sunday in Advent with the lighting of the Joy candle. Please join us for service in-person to mark the start of the season. It will be warm and cozy in the sanctuary, but as always, service will also be streamed live on our YouTube channel at 10am PST.
