Women's Ministry Hike and Brunch - Saturday, October 17th @ 8am
Our Women's Ministry is excited to host a hike and brunch fellowship event for the women of our church taking place on Saturday, October 17th at 8AM! We'll walk the Ferndell Trail up to the Griffith Observatory and then head over to brunch for fellowship for those who can stay. Whether you are brand new to our community or have been with us since the beginning, there is a place for you. We'd love to create a space for connection as we enjoy being outdoors together.

Understanding Ourselves & Others Through the Enneagram - Saturday, October 31st @ 9am
The Enneagram is a tool that names nine ways of seeing and moving through the world - not to put us in a box, but to help us see ourselves and each other more clearly. In this introductory workshop, we’ll explore what the Enneagram is (and isn’t), why self-awareness and other-awareness matters for our discipleship, and take a tour through the nine types. Our hope is for you to walk away with a deeper gratitude for who you are, a deeper compassion for yourself and others, and a deeper curiosity to keep learning. No prior knowledge of the Enneagram required! Registration fee covers food for the event.

Foundations of Faith: Exploring Life with Jesus - Thursdays, 10/8-10/29 @ 7pm

Prayer Room
As we enter into a season of rootedness as a church, we wanted to offer a tangible way to step into this season with intention. Our vision for our Citizens Prayer Room is simple: to create space where anyone can come to seek God through prayer. Rather than a structured gathering, this is meant to be a space in the middle of the week to slow down, become present before God, and respond to His invitation.

Eat: The Theology of Food - Wednesday, October 7th, 14th, & 21st @ 7pm
The Bible starts in Genesis with a garden full of food and ends in Revelation with a joyous feast. Eating is one of our most basic needs as humans, yet it may be one of the most profound ways we receive God's love. Join us for this 3-week course as we explore the theology of food:
Week 1: Creation - God's original intent with food, hunger, and eating together, starting in the book of Genesis.
Week 2: Redemption - How Jesus used meals to restore relationships and welcome the rejected back into the family of God.
Week 3: Invitation & Celebration - What this looks like at our own tables and a glimpse of the feast we're headed toward.

Heart-to-Heart Convos for Parents of Preteens - Saturday, October 17th @ 10am
Let’s have a conversation around parenthood! Your child isn’t a little kid anymore — but not yet a teenager. The preteen years (ages 9–12) bring rapid changes in the body, brain, and social world. As identity exploration begins and peers and technology grow in influence, parenting at this stage can feel like entering unfamiliar territory. Here’s your chance to dust off those deep-breathing skills you mastered back in the toddler years—they’ll come in handy again as emotions, friendships, and independence start to shift. Join us as we chat about how to stay connected and confident through this season of change. Together, we’ll explore how connection, curiosity, and guidance can help your preteen—and you—thrive through the ups and downs of early adolescence. Grace Kim, LMFT, and Cat Yun, our Children and Families Director will help guide our time of learning, sharing stories, and reflecting on this extremely dynamic stage of parenting that involves big emotions. Also, join us for lunch afterwards. There’ll be a panel of parents from different backgrounds and various stages of the preteen/teen years ready to answer your questions—so bring whatever’s on your mind. We encourage both parents to attend. Please let us know if you can't find childcare on your own. We will do our best to provide.
