City Free
City Free
City Free has three summer interns that have joined us this summer! Natasha Bickel, Isabel Abraham, and Sarah Hallenbeck. They started at the beginning of June and have joined in with youth groups, women’s gatherings, worship times, mobile groceries and so much more- fully embracing ministry in Jackson!
As City Free North and South communities become a church, feel free to ask Courtlyn or Tim questions about this journey or how to participate, pray and cheer us on!
City Free Central
In the book Good in the Hood, author Matt Newman states the following "When we serve a meal to a hungry person, it's not a finish line. It is an access point to being able to begin a sustainable relationship." This is in essence what we do in Central Free. Through our Mobile Grocery, Community Lunches, and Bingo, Dinner and Devotions, we build strong relationships in the Central Free neighborhood. We show our friends in the neighborhood that they are valued, and loved by us and God. The relationships that have been developed and nurtured has allowed us the opportunity to pray and support our friends. Thanks for your continued support of Central Free - we couldn't invest in the neighborhood without you.
City Free North
This summer has been full just loving on our friends and family, making new memories together. Our relationships continue to grow deeper. We had two women in City Free North connect at a women’s gathering and one has been able to support the other as she recovers from back surgery. Together, they also meet up and water the flower garden we planted together! Two kiddos from youth group offered a pop and some chips to a boy at the park we meet at who had just had a fight with his dad- this is all discipleship! Creating a way of life with the Spirit and doing life together and wherever the river of the Spirit flows, everything lives!
City Free South
In City Free South we continue to go deeper with our youth group where this week we talked about our worth to God never waivers. We have had many friends share hardships with us and invite us into the lows and highs of their life. Please specifically be praying for a mom who is grieving through a very hard and unimaginable loss. As well as one of our youth group kids opened up about his relationship with his dad and the complexity that has come from that. And continue to pray for guidance, discernment, favor, and joy for City Free!
