It seems as though in our world today so many people focus on what they are stressed about, bummed out about, depressed about and a myriad of other negative thoughts and feelings, that we often forget to focus on what we're excited about! We're hoping to change all that at City Church and we're asking YOU what you're excited about! Please read the following responses and if you'd like to add something to this list SEND IT HERE!
