WEEK III

"Excellent service tonight-of course God shows up where ever I am ;) Really enjoyed the venue and the freedom felt there. Had a wicked fever last night that finally broke this morning that I thought might keep me from going, but God! Had a great time with Teezy &Cheryl at Ru Sans afterward...Sushi!"
- Larry Usher

I am so loving mid-town on Thursday's! the flow is different and so soothing. Last night was so "free and comfortable" and love hanging at Starbucks on 9th afterwards. I thank you - for you, CITN and the "unconditional" love you are briging to all. BTW - I also drove in from my Athens office last night! Burned 78 up not 2 b late! Have a great day! Much love to ya!"

- Ethel Higgins

"So I wasn't exactly sure why but as I was walking up from the parking deck last night with Larry and Cheryl the first song that popped in my head was "Praise Party"...then we got into the ballroom and I immediately felt Spirit of God move....before service began, before meeting new people.....there was a sense of liberty, anticipation, and electricity....it really was a party....it really took me to a place in worship where I haven't been in some time...it's like connecting with the energies of people who in the physical you have never met but in the spiritual feel you have known forever.....CITNM is the best thing since sliced bread!!!! Can't wait till next week!"
- Terrell-Muzicboi Christopher Teezy Davis

"The service was wonderful last night, I always think that they are a snapshot of what heaven will be like.. Everyone is welcome and accepted..."
- Linda Green-Richardson

Church In The Now Midtown is one of the best, if not the best, church experience I've ever had! Really feel the gratitude and love and joy when I'm there. Really enjoying meeting everyone and making all these wonderful new aquaintances and friends. Please come join us. It is so worth the effort to be there.

In fact, the parking attendant ask us to say a prayer that she can attend a service some time. Already reaching out and touching..."
- Cheryl Tiedemann

Not sure how to even express what I felt last night. Not the music which -my God - Jon Scott , Dan - it had no choice but to be awesome. Not you - who are always life changing, but the feeling in the room. A mix between the overwhelming joy you feel when you watch someone marry, or even those Home makeover shows - always sob when they move that bus. Anyway, there was a tangible feeling of happiness, belonging, acceptance (maybe for the first time ever),someone finding their way home, and more than anythng else, peace...you know me i am not a visions, doves, gold dust, - yada yada, kinda person, but last night was something I have never felt, and a bunch that I have all rolled into one - I, as you, have been in services where blind see, etc, etc, but last night was an inside thing, hearts, wounded spirits...beautiful. God I hope that makes sense.I love you immensely, and am honored to be a part of any and everything you do.

"...God is about to blow the roof off the building. He has called you to this work. And He will see it through to the end. One can put a thousand to flight and two can put ten thousand to flight. If only two show up, that is enough to move mountains. Go on with your bad self man of God. Be ready, if you can for what God is about to do. Namaste, yours in Christ..."

"Reach out and touch Faith. Movement, change is exciting. Allows us to TRUST God and watch him work his magic in all of HIS glory. Where there is no vision, the people perish. CITN is a group of visionaries. Visionaries never die. They just keep getting up and get up stronger each time. Visionaries move forward and never in reverse. I am proud to be a part of the vision of CITN. It's all good."
