Dear Church Family,
 
Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve encouraged you to stay connected, especially as we move into summer, and to make the most of the opportunities for worship, community, missions, and spiritual growth. With school ending soon (and college around the corner), travel gearing up, and schedules shifting, I know many of us will be in and out over the next few months.
 
That is why I want to take a moment to remind you about some of the simple digital resources that can help you stay connected to your church family wherever you are.
 
Our website, cityrise.org, is the best place to begin. There, you can find upcoming events, ministry opportunities, registration links, media, and helpful next steps. You can also download the CityRise app, which is a great way to keep important resources close at hand no matter which campus you typically attend.
 
If you're traveling or unable to join us in person on a given Sunday, you can watch our services live or replay them later at cityrise.org/live or on our YouTube channel. You can also find CityRise on Facebook and Instagram, where we share clips, stories, updates, and ways to celebrate what God is doing across our church family. We are also grateful that CityRise is featured on the GLU streaming network, giving even more people access to biblical teaching and encouragement across multiple devices.
 
These tools are not a replacement for gathering together, but they are meaningful ways to remain engaged, encouraged, and equipped throughout the week. In many ways, they serve the same purpose as the opportunities I’ve mentioned recently: they help us to stay connected, keep growing, and invite others to take a next step with us.
 
This Sunday is also Senior Recognition Sunday, and we will have the joy of honoring this year’s graduating high school seniors. I hope you will join us as we celebrate them, pray for them, and encourage them as they step into this next season of life.
 
We’ll see you on Sunday, Church Family.

 
Expecting Greater,
Pastor Roger
