Everyday Kidz just finished a lesson series about Moses and God’s dramatic rescue of his people from Egypt. Now the Everyday Family Group is planning a field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for this Sunday to visit their Ancient Egypt exhibit.
We will meet at the Bennett’s apartment at 2:00pm and ride the train together to the museum. The church will cover the donation cost of the tickets to the museum. We’ll spend an hour there and then individuals can decide if they want to stay longer (museum before closes at 5:30pm).
You don’t need to be a participant of the Everyday Family Group to come. Everyone is welcome to join us!

God is doing something remarkable with Everyday Church, and it’s an answer to prayer. Our young faith-family is unusually diverse. We have people coming from all over the spiritual map– seekers, skeptics, young believers, mature believers.
We’re ethnically diverse. Some of us speak English as a first language, others Spanish. We have singles, newly-weds, and couples who’ve been married for decades. Some have earned advanced degrees; others are street smart. We come in all colors that humans come in. We are babies, toddlers, kids, teens, twenty-somethings, people in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s… all in a church of now, perhaps 100 people!
“In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us.” Colossians 3:11 (NLT)
Christ is all that matters!
Please pray:
* That this diversity is just the beginning for ECC.
* For our Spanish translators: Mi and Iris.
* For English speakers who are trying to learn Spanish (like me!)
* That God would teach us how to truly love one another in Christ.
* That God would use this diversity to convince our neighbors He is among us.
We can’t do this without you. Please pray,
Chris

There’s a new Everyday Group brewing. We’re calling it the Creativity Group, because we want to champion creativity in our neighborhood for God’s glory. We are all created in the image of God, the ultimate Creator. Therefore we all have creative potential within us. Humanity has always been in the business of creating– culture, art, music, family, poetry, organization, dance, you name it. This group will be a community that champions creativity to the glory of God, whether in our neighborhoods, our schools, our church, or our city.
Please pray for:
1) Me as I launch this new group.
2) Our leadership team: Jordan, Liz, BJ, Andrea, Casey, & Kelsey.
3) New people to get involved. (Is it you? A friend? A family member?)

Just over two years ago Everyday Church started as a small group of people meeting in an apartment. Since then, we’ve grown into three Everyday Groups, with a fourth launching soon, regular teaching services, and so much more. And we really are just getting started!
One of those groups is the Everyday Family Group. I’m proud to be a part of it and I can’t imagine trying to live life as a family here in NYC without it. Wendy and I can’t raise our girls on our own. We need a community of people dedicated to caring for, protecting, nurturing, spiritually mentoring, teaching, them encouraging them. Try doing all that on your own and you’ll realize how daunting the task is.
Please pray for the Everyday Family Group. Pray for the families in this neighborhood who don’t have the support and friendship they need. Pray that we will continue to be a group dedicated to caring for moms and dads and kids. Pray our group will continue to be a mix of young and old, boys and girls, men and women, moms and dads, couples and singles. Pray this group will be a place for kids to experience incredible love and acceptance, that they will never again doubt their worth.
