Teen CityGroup Launches!

Posted on May 8, 2012 by Kevin Rush

The Teen CityGroup launched this past Sunday at Lakewood Park!  Erin McGowan who leads the Teen CityGroup said, “We ate, played an ankle balloon popping game and shoe landmine game which were lots of fun. They were a little quiet during discussion, but I totally expect that for the first few times.  Everyone got a little cold by the end of the night, but overall it was a great first meeting!

Teen CityGroup will meet on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month from 6:30-8:30PM at Lakewood Park.  To stay connected set up an account sign into TheCity or check out the public City Plaza which lists the events.

Imagine Nation (Sermon Series)

Posted on April 30, 2012 by Kevin Rush

Are you a dreamer or are you realist? Does your life feel like a fantasy or more like a nightmare?  Throughout the story of God (a.k.a. the Bible) God uses images, dreams, and visions to lead rebellious, jacked up people (like you and me) out of chaos into a new world where He is King. He takes the shattered pieces of their past, changes their lives, stretches their imagination, and gives them a new future. We believe God is doing it again and He is calling you to dream with Him! Join us as we stretch our imagination and faith in God to do immeasurably more than we could hope for or imagine!  It could change your life and your world.

5.6.12 – Those Who Dream
5.13.12 – Like A Child
5.20.12 – God’s Dream, Our Dream
5.27.12 – A New City

At CityEdge we developed and launched our Residency Program [www.cityedge.org/residency] earlier this year. Starting in May we will have our first Resident with us. Her name is Breigh Butcher!

Hello! My name is Breigh, short for Breighanne and I am from Manassas, Virginia. Currently, I am studying biblical studies at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. Along with my passion for Christ, I have a love for coffee, bacon, and history. Last year, I came to Cleveland for a summer internship and fell in love with it; now, I can’t wait to get back.

Breigh will be a Missional Resident for 1-yr with a focus on reaching Youth and Families. Welcome her into the CE Family!

Disciple (Sermon Series)

Posted on March 28, 2012 by Kevin Rush

A disciple? What’s that? Aren’t those the people outside the abortion clinic with bull-horns? What do disciples do?  They sell all their possessions and move into a commune, right? What do disciples know? Not much! We all know they are brain-washed into thinking some guy is God.  Those are harsh reactions to the word disciple, but it is what many of us think of when we here the word. Join us as we take a hard look at what Jesus ment when he called us to be his disciples.

4.1.12 – Learners
4.8.12 – Deadman Walking
4.15.12 – Followers
4.22.12 – An Apprentice
4.29.12 – Marching Orders (Matt Caton)

Advent Conspiracy Water Campaign Ends

Posted on March 20, 2012 by Kevin Rush

During our Advent Conspiracy Series, CityEdge launched a 90 day campaign to provide clean drinking water for those living in water poverty.  The campaign finished early this week and the totals are in. Drum roll please….

We gave $805, which provides 40 people (or 8 families) with clean drinking water for life through an organization called Charity:Water.

By giving to Charity:Water (and other amazing organizations like it) you can bring water to 1 billion people live with water poverty and you can help save lives and eradicate it for good. To save one life it costs $20. Just go to www.cityedge.org/water to give!

“We Don’t Care Where You Go…” Mailer

Posted on March 14, 2012 by Kevin Rush

What would you think if you got a mailer from a church that said, “We Don’t Care Where You Go…”? [Insert awkward pause]

This Easter CityEdge has teamed up with four other churches to send out a message of Christian unity and love. Instead of sending out a bunch of competing mailers we decided to send ONE mailer with ONE message to every home in Lakewood.  Below is the mailer they will receive…

“We don’t care where you go… just join one of us this Easter!”

Imagine churches putting Jesus and people coming to know him above their own tribe to further God’s Kingdom. CityEdge is grateful to be a part of such an amazing movement of unity in love to reach people far from God here in Greater Cleveland.  God is up to something in Cleveland.  Join Him!  If you are looking for a church in the Lakewood area this Easter check out…

“Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”
                                                                                                               - John 13:35 (NLT)
