CITYFEST
GET READY FOR RE:NEW
Hundreds of churches are coming together to launch a unified region-wide movement called CT CityFest.
This Gospel movement is dependent on the Holy Spirit, but also dependent on you. And it starts with us right now. Getting our hearts and our minds rightly focused... spiritually invigorated.
This launch for the festival is called RE:NEW. This is a special night to gather the church together to worship as one body, preparing our hearts for this powerful season of outreach.
We're excited to announce that Grammy award-winning artist Israel Houghton will be leading us in worship and will be joined by Adam Durso (President | LEAD.NYC) and Andrew Palau who will be challenging our hearts toward sharing the Good News.
Encourage your congregation to plan to attend. It's free. RE:NEW is an event for the whole church.
The RE:NEW Gathering
March 17 | 7 p.m.
