Announcements
New Service Times Starting September 7!
1st Service: 9:30AM
2nd Service: 11:30AM
3rd Service: 1:30PM
On September 7, we will launch a third worship service to welcome more believers and seekers from our city to worship with us. While we've been focusing on the new 3rd service, we also want to address our 2nd service needs. If you're not committing to the third service, we encourage you to attend the 9:30AM service, as we expect many newcomers and the 11:30AM service will likely be the most crowded.

If you're not committing to the third service, we encourage you to attend the 9:30AM service, as we expect many newcomers and the 11:30AM service will likely be the most crowded.
Please be on time. Treat it like a flight. The Common Room will be reserved for families and the worship team. If the 11:30AM service reaches capacity, you'll be directed to the 1:30PM service. The vestibule must remain clear for safety reasons. We want everyone to have a seat to fully experience worship.
We are still looking for a commitment of 150 existing congregants to commit to attending and serving at the new 1:30PM service to create a welcoming and seamless experience for newcomers. Please fill out this form to commit and sign up for serving opportunities.

Congregational Meeting Recap
If you missed our Congregational Meeting on July 20 (or wanted to rewatch), check out the recap video on youtube! There's a special announcement towards the middle and you can hear from our Diaconate nominees at the end.
Meet & Greet Lunch - Every 2nd Sunday
Whether you're a newcomer or someone who's been coming to Exilic for a while, this is the perfect opportunity to casually meet more people in the community. After first service, the Connections team will be waiting for you near the front/left of the stage. We'll then split into smaller groups and go out to eat.
Father's Heart Outreach - Every 2nd Saturday
Opportunity to serve hungry and food insecure New Yorkers! The Father's Heart Ministries, one of Hope for New York's affiliates, is looking for volunteers from Exilic every 2nd Saturday of the month. Volunteers can cook breakfast, pack groceries, and interact with the guests - the Father's Heart serves approximately 1,000 people in 3 hours, so helping hands are greatly appreciated! This is also a great opportunity to meet more people at Exilic who have a heart for service! Sign up HERE to serve!
