Football Sunday

We will be having a “Football Sunday” service. Come enjoy our normal worship service experience but with a twist. Come sporting your favorite team jersey. No matter if they are in the big game or not. At LifeCity there will be good food like you’d find at a game, coffee, good music and even better preaching. It will be a great way to start your game day! 
 
Address:
3000 Benton St
Santa Clara, CA
 
Time: 10:30AM


WORD INITIATIVE

LifeCity Church as a community will be going through the scriptures in 2019. Here is the month of January for you. Weekly readings are a 5-day week. This allows 2 days a week for you to have “off” or for you to catch up if you missed a day. Enjoy the Bible readings over your morning coffee, right before bed, at lunch break, etc. Whenever and wherever is best for you. Each day should take about 15 minutes to 30 minutes of time. We will begin Monday, January 7th! So invite friends and family members to join you!

21 Days of Prayer, Jan. 14

Jan. 14 – Feb. 3
6:00 am
 
What would happen if we collectively sought God as a church family, and asked His blessing, guidance, and peace into our lives, and those across our church family? We believe in prayer! For these 21 days, we’re encouraging everyone to join us for corporate and individual prayer time. We’re also encouraging everyone to consider fasting for a few meals, or even a few days – if able.

Thanksgiving Basket Packing

Monday, Nov. 20, 6:30pm
Montague Elementary School
 
Our Thanksgiving Basket Outreach is coming up soon, and we need your help packing up over 150 Thanksgiving Baskets for families in need! Together, we serve – and our community experiences Christ’ love through us. We’ll need help in assembly lines filling each basket with the appropriate items, packaging them properly, and writing hand-written cards wishing each family a great Thanksgiving. Children are welcomed and encouraged to participate! See you at the Montague Elementary cafeteria. 


Fall Back! Nov. 5!

Glory to God! It’s time to gain an hour of sleep back (kinda)! Don’t forger to set your clocks to take advantage of the extra hour we gain from setting our clocks back one hour. If you forget, you may accidentally become a part of the setup crew that Sunday. And of course, if you are the parent of young children, we’re sorry that this has no meaning to you! Don’t worry – we’ll still have coffee for you to enjoy, even if you don’t get to sleep in any later!


Communion: Sunday, Nov. 5

Join us this Sunday, November 5, 10:30am, as we participate in communion together. Communion (aka, “The Lord’s Supper”) is an opportunity that we participate in as a memorial of Jesus’ dying on our behalf on the cross by taking a piece of bread (symbolizing His broken body) and drinking a small cup of grape juice (symbolizing His shed blood). We do this together about once every other month.
All those who have put their faith and trust in Christ are welcomed to participate with us in communion. This is always a great time for our church family to bond together over our common identity in Jesus.
 
Things you may consider doing in advance to be prepared to participate include:
  – Praying and turning over any unconfessed sin to God. Come to communion with a pure heart.
  – Seek to repair any relationships where needed and possible.
  – Read Luke 22:14-20, one of the recorded accounts of the last supper, which we do communion in memorial of.
  – Some like to fast for a day or even just that morning beforehand. While this isn’t something we push, it is a meaningful experience for those who do so. 
 
We’ll see you Sunday!


Potluck Sunday! Oct. 29

Oct. 29, 10:30am
 
Join us Sunday, Oct. 29, for our regular worship time, and bring a dish to share for lunch afterward in the SCHS Quad. Make enough for your family, plus a few so that everyone gets to try a little bit of everything. This is a great opportunity for us to connect as a church family with no agenda other than to enjoy food and fellowship together. Don’t miss it!
