Friend of CityWave, Tim Hageland who is a worship leader and musician, released an album recently, and we want to share it with you all. Check it out on Spotify & iTunes or timhageland.com. The entire album is amazing, and our favorite is "You're Not Finished Yet." If you need some encouragement, let the truth be sung over you that God's not finished with you, and listen to it this week!

We're still giving thanks for an awesome time of worship at Christmas! Next up: New Year's! Just a reminder that we will NOT be having our normal Sunday gathering this Sunday, December 30. Recent tradition has been to give our dedicated volunteers a much needed break from portable church! Enjoy the space everyone, and we pray you will enter 2019 abounding in God’s love from a great year together.

Every December, our very own Elaine Green does a Dressember fundraising campaign to support rescue missions for victims of human trafficking around the world. Thank you Elaine for your 7 years of steadfast support to this important cause! We're impressed:) This year, Elaine's design in the dress design competition has made it to the finals even with a record number of submissions. Check it out and give her a vote of support by 12/31 if you like it at Dressember.org/vote.

Be history makers with us. This year's Christmas service, PEACE ON EARTH, could be one of the most stirring gatherings in the 121 years of our building's history. All because of Jesus' birth and some people passionate about him. | Shannon Hall | Sunday | December 23 | 6:00 pm | citywave.org

This guy is the absolute best! Christopher was such a delight to visit this past Saturday, and something pretty cool happened since our visit. Christopher has had a rare form of cancer for all of his 16 years. He's had an unimaginable journey of constant challenges, and yet his spirit is so strong and inspiring. He had a "wish" for an iPad Pro someday to help pass time and serve as a creative outlet for him. After pulling this information out of his loving mom, we called Theoni and our friends at Cal's Angels, and within one day this week a WISH application was submitted and approved! Absolutely amazing. Thank you Christopher for showing us that life is worth fighting for. And thank you Theoni and Cal's Angels for the most incredible act of grace we've witnessed this year.

A record breaking night, serving 200 residents at the Concord Place high rise senior home in the heart of Chicagoland! This is Camille, a resident, and Patrik, a Home Depot Store Manager, and Sue, a CityWave volunteer. For many of the residents, the care packages given are the only Christmas presents they will receive. Their gratitude was priceless and blessed us so much!
