CONNECT – GROW – SERVE
BOUNCE AROUND: WEEKLY GATHERING FOR PARENTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN
Every Thursday morning from 9:30 to 11am, parents and their children ages 0-5 are invited to Bounce Around! Our goal is to create a space where parents and kids can connect through free play, Bible stories, crafts, and songs. If you have any questions, want to get involved, or register your children, please email becky@christchurchnyc.com.
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)
Christ Church NYC aims to be a church in which every member of the church uses their gifts for the edification of the whole body. Below is a list of ministries that need volunteers.

A Community Group is a great way to build relationships with other Christians and to participate in the life of Christ Church. To get connected to a Community Group please fill out the sign-up card or email keith@christchurchnyc.com.
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.

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).
