Can You Say "Gracias"?

Next time you sit on one of the brown chairs in the ACC auditorium, you might want to say gracias for the work organized by Kelvin & Sofia Davis and Victor & Carmen Romero along with family and friends, and AZ Suarez from the church staff. These Spanish-speaking members of our City Church family spent most of the day on Memorial Day cleaning and shampooing over 650 chairs!

The day was perfect: lots of sun with a bit of breeze. The crew had set up an assembly line: spot removal and general cleaning, followed by shampoo and then vaccuum removal of the water. Kelvin showed off some of the water coming out of the vacuum: it was time for a clean!

Gracias, amigos!

Sound Levels in the Auditorium During Worship: Too hot? Too low?

Sound level in the auditorium during church services has recently been a big topic of discussion among staff. Church staff hear both “the music is too loud” and “I can’t hear the singers”…. often during a single church service. It’s counterintuitive, but sound level is only one issue. Another is the “hard box” nature of the auditorium walls and floor which reflect the sound and makes it harsh. We have hired a consulting firm with substantial church experience to help us improve how the audio sounds and to help us plan for other audio and video improvements. When we get their recommendations in a few weeks, we will begin implementing them and we expect this will improve the overall listening experience for everyone.

National Day of Prayer May 7

When: May 7 from 6:30 – 8:30 PM
Where: City Church (Minnesota and 100th). We plan to pray on the lawn in front of the church, weather permitting. If the weather is terrible, we can pray in the auditorium. You can bring lawn chairs if it is difficult to stand while you pray.
What to bring: Bring your banners, voices, prayers, scriptures to pray and proclaim
Who: Everyone is invited, not just for City Church members; the entire body of Christ is welcome. This is a time of prayer… not a time of fellowship
How: Prayer Guidelines are available on the National Day of Prayer Website
Please note… this is a time to pray for our churches, city, state and nation… we encourage those who come to pray the Word for these areas. This is not a time for personal ministry or prayers for individual requests.
