New Members Class
November 1st & 8th at 10:30a.m.
Here at Risen City, we believe that we are objects of God’s love by grace through Jesus Christ. By grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone we are saved. This love and grace is dynamic and personal, transforming us from people who are naturally preoccupied with ourselves into a community of Christian believers committed to loving others with the same love we have received from God.
We're so excited you're interested in learning more about who we are and joining the family!
EVERYONE HAS A NEXT STEP. WHAT'S YOURS?
Sign up for this class and learn more about WHO WE ARE! See sign up at CLASS SIGNUP or in church lobby or call the church office 727 599-4555.

Weekly Sunday Worship
SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICE
at 9 a.m. OCTOBER 25, 2020
In this Sunday's sermon from John 16:4b-15 tells us the importance of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. The Holy Spirit is God, but here He is described as our Helper. He frees us from trying to live the Christian life in our own power. We live this not by "doing more and trying harder”; rather, it is by “seeing Jesus and surrendering to the Spirit.”
The Holy Spirit constantly draws attention to Jesus. To see and enjoy grace is the supreme work of the Spirit, as he bears witness to the truth and comfort of God’s Word in our hearts.

Giving a Helping Hand
Help us bless a family in our Church. Paul tells the church at Galatia, "So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith." Would you consider giving any amount to help us provide food for a family in our church?
Just go to www.risencity.org/give/food pantry to enter any dollar amount. Every offering will help us care for a family and honor God. May we glorify God in all that we do. If you have questions you may call the church office at 727 599-4555
