Worship for March 15, 2020

by

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the City Road Chapel UMC has suspended on-site worship services for March 15 and 22, 2020. This video devotion was created to help our faith community connect and experience something of worship together.

On March 22, it is our intention to live-stream a worship experience from our sanctuary at 10 a.m.. All videos can be found at cityroadchapel.org/videos.

While we are not gathering on Sundays, we WILL continue to do ministry here at City Road Chapel. As such, we continue to need your donations to help support our work here. You are invited to donate at cityroadchapel.org/give.

If you have a pastoral need, please reach out to our pastor, Jay Voorhees, at 615-868-1673 or at jvoorhees@cityroadchapel.org
