News & Updates:

Announcements -

We hosted an in-person gathering at the Barrett home on Sunday, September 24th. We also hosted a Zoom meeting for those outside the region or who could not attend in person. It was a sweet time of fellowship and being together. I continued the series entitled, "Transformation, Change, Transfiguration" with the message, "Repenting, Renewing & Maturing." This message was the third in the series, all of which are posted in the upper right corner of this page.

Also, we invite you to check back on the website as you can and look for new resources. It has been a really busy summer for Melinda and me, with travel and a variety of family responsibilities. I have a number of messages that I hope to finish in the next few weeks. I will send email notices as these messages are posted to the website.

Lastly, we are working right now to settle on some schedule changes for our fall gatherings. One of the events that we will host this fall is a special Holiday Gathering. I expect that we will announce the date of that event by the 1st of October. I will also send an email notifications that will include dates for the next several gatherings.

We love you dearly and pray for you often. Blessings to you all,

Michael and Melinda

New Message -

You will see on the center of this page a new message entitled, "A Lamb for a House." The mandate of the corporate man is clearly typified in the key passages of Scripture used in this message. Also, to be correctly alligned and rightly joined in the Body of Christ has always been crucial, and it is moreso today. We invite you to prayerfully read this message and listen to what the Holy Spirit intends to say to you through it. You will note that we have posted only a portion of the message on the homepage but have provided a link to the entire message for your convenience.

We also encourage you to periodically check this site for new messages. Part of the "re-engage" this year involves writing and speaking messages that are current and relevant. "Profitable" (upper right on this page) and "Patmos" are both messages that are well suited for this time. And there are others soon to come. So, check back as you can.

Resources -

A recent quote from Sunday, May 7, 2023 Zoom meeting. Sam Soleyn said, "the problem with submitting to your own soverignty is that you can never move beyond yourself." If you are not on the email notification list for Sam's Zoom meetings, please email us and we will add you to the list. Email us by clicking this link: infoat@citychurchla.com.

Blessings to you,

Michael
