City Church pastor Tom Flaherty likens the “Intimacy with God” conference, beginning Wednesday evening at the church, to the Sunday night services back when the congregation was known as Madison Gospel Tabernacle.
“Sunday night was very different from Sunday morning,” he said. “Everybody who was there wanted to be there. There was this wonderful presence of God and you didn’t want to leave. It couldn’t get any better than what we were experiencing.”
Flaherty said the format for this week’s meeting will be 45 minutes of worship to open, a speaker, and then another 45 minutes of worship afterwards. “We’ll just wait on God together,” he said.
The schedule for the week goes from Wednesday evening to Saturday morning:
- Wednesday 7 PM – Shane Holden (First Free Church, Onalaska) YOUTH NIGHT
- Thursday 10 AM – Marlene Sorenson (Springs of Hope Church, Madison)
- Thursday 7 PM – Brian White (First Assembly, Grand Rapids, MI)
- Friday 10 AM – Tom Alexander (Two Rivers Church, Glendale AZ)
- Friday 7 PM – Nic Gibson (High Point Church, Madison)
- Saturday 10 AM – Marcio Sierra (Lighthouse Church, Madison)
“We want to say to God, ‘Here we are,'” Flaherty said. “There’s more than just this life. Don’t miss the big picture. I want to go higher.”
The meetings will feature multi-church worship teams, and other local pastors leading prayer. Childcare will be provided for infants through age four. City Church is located at 4909 E. Buckeye Road, Madison.
