Don't forget -- this Sunday is the BIPOC Christmas Bash!!!

📣There will be NO worship at 9:30 📣 but we hope you'll join us from 10:30 - noon for the BIPOC Bash and white caucusing space. Both will be at the New City Center:
3104 16th Ave S Minneapolis, MN 55407

The BIPOC Christmas Bash is Open to all BIPOC folks so be sure to invite your friends! ✨ Join for food, singing and community! RSVP is appreciated but not required, let us know you’re coming here: https://grownewcity.breezechms.com/form/e4caf2

The white folks of New City are invited to join a white caucusing space, also at 10:30! This time will be led by some of our embodied antiracism facilitators (participation in embodied antiracism is not a prerequisite) no need to RSVP for the caucus:)

While the recently issued 4-day ceasefire does not mark the end of the Israel-Hamas war, we celebrate that dozens of Palestinian and Israeli civilian hostages have been released. New City Church urges our community to pray for peace in the face of what Amnesty International calls “indiscriminate and other unlawful attacks” that has led to “unfettered devastation and suffering” in Gaza.

Further, New City urges all Christians in the US to vigilantly address the rise of anti-Muslim and antisemitic rhetoric and violence. Our baptismal vows commit us to “resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves,” including oppression against those of other religions.

This Advent season, we remember that God came to liberate the whole world, and God chose to start first with the most oppressed. 🕊
