Surviving the Holidays

11.5 | 9 - 11:30 AM | West Student Center
The holiday season is upon us. However, for many, a season that is normally marked by celebration and joy can easily become overwhelmed with sorrow and dread due to the death (recent or past) of a loved one. So the goal often becomes a sense of, "I just need to survive the holidays, and get through this." We don't want you to do that alone or without help. When you are grieving a loved one's death, the holiday season can be especially painful. Our Surviving the Holidays seminar helps participants prepare for the holidays and even discover hope for the future. The cost is $5. Childcare available. Register at citylightomaha.org/sth.

February is Citylight Missions Month!

We have the honor of welcoming international workers from Southeast Asia this month!

There will be several opportunities to hear them tell of what they are witnessing on their mission field and rejoice together! For more information, visit citylightomaha.org/missionsmonth.

Summer Baptism Celebration

8.9 | 10:30 AM | Live-streamed from Midtown

Instead, we will be live-streaming our baptism celebration from the Citylight Omaha Midtown location. Jesus is still changing lives and we look forward to hearing testimonies and baptizing many new believers. More at citylightomaha.org/summerbaptism.

Baptism Class
