BRIEF SESSION: LIVING OUT THE GOSPEL THROUGH THE SUMMER
Sunday, May 25 at 12:15 to 12:45 PM (Sanctuary)

SIGN UP FOR MINISTRIES!
1 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. (Philippians 2:1-4)

COMMUNITY GROUPS
A Community Group is a great way to build relationships with other Christians and to participate in the life of Christ Church. For the 2024-25 Ministry Year, the Community Groups are:
- Sundays at 1 PM: Church Building
- Tuesdays at 10 AM: Church Building (women only)
- Tuesdays at 7 PM: UES (86th St between Madison & Park)
- Thursdays at 7:15 PM
- Fridays at 6:30 PM: UES (90th St between Lex & 3rd)
- Fridays at 7:30 PM: UES (85th St between 1st & York)
Community Groups exist at Christ Church NYC to help us fulfill our mission of making disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus for the glory of God. They provide a context for cultivating relationships with Christ and each other through the study and application of God’s Word and through encouraging one another to live out our lives for the good of others and the glory of God.
MEAL MINISTRY AT CHRIST CHURCH NYC
Do you love serving people with food? Would you like to share your love of food to share with others? The Meal Ministry at CCNYC is a small yet significant act of service providing food for those recovering from illness, or walking through a period of bereavement, or for those simply adjusting to life with a newborn baby. If interested in participating, please contact Cindy Paulus (cindy.paulusii@gmail.com).
2025 BIBLE READING, MEMORIZATION, AND PRAYER PLAN
To help encourage all of us to give ourselves more faithfully to prayer and the reading of God’s Word this year, we’ve put together a Bible reading, memorization, and prayer plan for 2024. The booklet encompassing the entire year is now available. Please pick up a copy on Sunday or download it from our website.
WOMEN’S DISCIPLESHIP OPPORTUNITY
During the school year, our Women’s Fellowship Group meets every Tuesday. Please join us at church (111 East 87th Street) from 10 AM to 11:30 AM for a time of Bible study and fellowship. Childcare is available. Please email women@christchurchnyc.com if you have any questions.
MEN’S TUESDAY BIBLE STUDY
Our Men’s Bible Study group meets each Tuesday morning from 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM at the Christ Church NYC offices. Each week, we gather to spend time in God’s Word and encourage one another in our growth as Christian men. We are currently using “God’s Big Picture” by Vaughan Roberts as our study guide. This study traces the grand narrative of the Bible and reveals how all of Scripture points to the Lord Jesus Christ. It offers a meaningful opportunity to deepen biblical understanding and be shaped by God’s Word in the company of brothers. All men are welcome — whether long-standing members or first-time visitors. For more information, please email brenton.ayers@protonmail.com.

In addition to these ministries at Christ Church listed above, we support Alex Sserwadda in his ministry in Uganda, and Robert and Lisa Stewart in their church planting work in Japan. If you would like more information about any of these ministries, visit www.christchurchnyc.com/mission-partners.
