Church of the City

We enjoyed kicking off our new series on the fruit of Spirit this past Sunday. Join us this week as we consider joy as a key to our transformation into Christlikeness. Also, we want to remind you that there is no nursery during the summer months, but ages 3 to 12 are in the gym together for a combined program. See you Sunday!

This Sunday we are starting a new series for the Summer: the fruit of the Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit are so often misunderstood; are they virtues we work hard to achieve? Or do we just sit back and let God work this change in us when he pleases? Or is there another option? Join us over the next couple months as we unpack how we can all participate in the Spirit's impressive gardening proj...

This week at Reunion we take a beat to reflect, pray, and worship together. Join with us as we lift up our church, our city, and our world to God in prayer and worship!

This week wraps up our series on Ezekiel. We turn finally to chapters 47 and 48 to see Ezekiel's vision for good news: the new land. We hope you've enjoyed learning with us this season.

Join us for a special Sunday as Dave brings the word on Ezekiel 43:12-46:24 and the Good News: the New Torah. This is Dave's last teaching at COTC as he and Donna move out West this Summer. Please join us in thanking Dave for his years of faithful service as an Elder at Church of the City.

At Reunion, Spencer will be leading us through Chapters 40:1-43:11 of Ezekiel. This is an important moment as Ezekiel is given a vision of good news in the form of a new temple. Join us as we consider this passage together.

We're excited for Becki Lee to bring the word this Sunday on Ezekiel Chapters 38-39, looking at the proclamation of the good news: hope for the nations.

Join us this Sunday as we enter into the second half of the book of Ezekiel, after Jerusalem's fall. We'll consider the hope of new life that God extends to us, even today, and how that changes the way we approach everyday life.

We as elders and staff are praying for you if you sensed a step of obedience God was asking of you last Sunday. This week we'll look at Ezekiel 25-32 as Ezekiel directs his prophecies outward towards the surrounding nations.

This week we'll look at Ezekiel's final prophecies before he learns of the fall of Jerusalem. We trust you've finding that, in the midst of difficult passages like the ones we've been looking at in recent weeks, the Spirit still has rich things to teach us. We'll also be hearing some stories of God at work through our missional communities.

This Sunday we continue our journey through Ezekiel by looking at one of Israel's darkest moments and considering what God might want to teach us from a passage as difficult as this.

This week in our series in Ezekiel, we'll be looking at chapters 4-7, and considering what God's warnings to the people of Israel might mean for us in twenty-first century Guelph. We'll also be having our Welcome Home lunch after the service. If you are newer to Church of the City, we'd love to have you join us. See below for more details!

The Old Testament prophets are all interesting characters, Ezekiel perhaps the most so. His actions and visions are strange, often bizarre, even, and can leave us wondering what we can learn from them for the Christian life today. Join us this Sunday as we begin our new series, Ezekiel: A Strange and Beautiful Witness , and hopefully see in Ezekiel's ministry hope as we follow God today.

This weekend, over the course of Good Friday and Easter, we'll consider just how deep the brokenness runs that Christ died to redeem us from, and Sunday we'll consider how glorious a restoration we have received because of Christ's resurrection. We'll even have some interactive element for kids and grownups that we are excited to experience together! See below for more details on b...

This Sunday is the final message in our Following Jesus series, and we're going to get practical! We will consider together the steps to actually forming and living with a Rule of Life. Don't miss it!

During this series we've been talking about following Jesus. Jesus himself made it clear, however, that loving God must always be partnered with loving our neighbour. What would it look like to make the wholeness of our city a part of our plans for following Jesus? Join us this Sunday as we consider!

This week, as part of our Following Jesus series, we're going talk about everyone's favourite topic: Money. Seriously though, it might seem like money is the 'root of all evil,' and certainly we in our society today experience our fair share of economic hardships, but how we view and use our treasure is not merely a topic for civics or even stewardship; rather, the Bible has a lot...

This week in our  Following Jesus series , we'll be considering how our bodies and the world around us can either be pathways to deeper communion with God and others or distractions that lead us into isolation. We all have to choose!

It's fitting on this first Sunday of Lent that we cover Relationships as a key element for growing closer with God. Jesus made it clear that the Christian life is all about a deepening relationship with God and with one another. Join us at Reunion this Sunday as we continue our Following Jesus: Everyday Rhythms for Deep Communion series.

For many, conversations about "spiritual disciplines" often bring the bible to mind. Sadly, this is often accompanied by a sense of duty and obligation. Is it possible to cultivate a different relationship with the Scriptures? Join us this Sunday at Reunion for our  Following Jesus: Everyday Rhythms for Deep Communion  series, as we explore the transforming power of God's word.

This week in our Following Jesus: Everyday Rhythms for Deep Communion, we take a look at one of the oldest and most sacred disciplines in Christian Living: Prayer. Believe it or not, prayer is not complicated. That said, we all find it challenging at times to speak to God or feel confident He's listening. Join us at Reunion as we dispel some myths and discuss the important role prayer plays in...

We're starting a new series called Following Jesus: Everyday Rhythms for Deep Communion . We talk often about "following Jesus together" at COTC, but what does that actually look like in everyday life? Join us as we explore practices that Christians have been using for centuries to cultivate their relationships with Jesus!

In the midst of a world that prioritizes busyness, God invites us to be a people who find deep rest. A key practice that meets this need is Sabbath. Join us Sunday as we continue our new series Following Jesus: Everyday Rhythms for Deep Communion, as we discuss Sabbath as a means of connecting with God, ourselves, and the world around us.
