A Minute of Vision

We love watching .patterson9 .soccer play ball. State semi-finals is as far as we got this year but we went 13-1 after cheer season ended. We love her and coaches and families.

Happy 22nd birthday ! Keep at it!

One of our little ones made this while I was preaching yesterday and brought it to me during the final song. It was precious! Her message here is that no matter what comes—sun, rain, snow, wind, or fog— our Lord is there. Then she writes at the bottom, “to every pastor.”

What a gift!

How is that January momentum feeling? 🙌 We are a few weeks into the new year, and it is the perfect time to lean even deeper into your spiritual journey. You started the year strong: now it is time to take another step today.

Our '40 Days of Faith' devotional is designed to help you maintain that focus and find true renewal as you walk with Christ this season. Whether you are looking for a fresh start or a deeper connection, this journey is for you.

For those of you already reading along and enjoying the book, we would love your help! Would you take a quick moment to leave a review on Amazon? Your words help others in our community and beyond discover this resource for their own growth.

Let’s keep this momentum going together! 👣✨

CityRise Church

CityRise Family, Out of an abundance of caution, and in light of the Winter Storm Warning for tomorrow morning, January 25, in the Houston area, we have made the decision to cancel all on-campus gatherings tomorrow at CityRise.

Many churches across our city are making the same decision, and we believe this is the wisest and most loving step to ensure the safety of our church family, staff, and volunteers.

That said, we are absolutely still gathering through our online services, and we would love for you to join us as we worship together and take an important step forward as a church.

Join Us Online Tomorrow

You can worship with CityRise online at our regularly scheduled times in the following locations:

Our CityRise website (cityrise.org/livestream)
Our CityRise YouTube channel (youtube.com/)
GLU “God Loves You” Network streaming platform (glu.love or search for GLU in your device’s app store)

Whether you’re at home with your family, watching from your phone, or gathering virtually with others, we invite you to be fully present and engaged!

Pathways Generosity Initiative: Still Launching

Tomorrow is especially meaningful as we are officially kicking off our Pathways Generosity Initiative. During our online service, we will:

launch this new season together as a church,
share our Pathways vision video, and
bring the message that sets the tone for where God is leading us next.

Even though we’re not together in the room, this moment still matters. God is moving, and we believe He will use this season to shape our hearts, our faith, and our future together.

Thank you for your flexibility, your understanding, and your continued commitment to CityRise. Please stay safe, stay warm, and make plans to join us online tomorrow morning.

Still Expectant,
Pastor Roger

She’s best of the best, and I love her so! Happy birthday, !

Let’s make 2026 about more than just moving more or losing weight. Come journey with us at CityRise: return to church, engage in the daily spiritual disciplines that truly change us, and take part in our 40 Days of Faith experience.
