In addition to the new album, The City Harmonic reveals how small churches of various denominations in Hamilton, Ontario, calling themselves TrueCity, joined together to change their city for the good in the 45-minute-long We Are The City Harmonic documentary that can be viewed now at
www.WeAreTheCityHarmonic.com.
"We have seen firsthand how the Church unified can change a city," says The City Harmonic collectively on the website. "We believe that we're better together. This site exists to share and inspire stories of transformative Christian unity--beginning with our own."
Already inspiring people from all over North America and beyond to respond with their own stories of unity, Emily, from Windsor, ON, writes at
www.WeAreTheCityHarmonic.com, "For the past couple of years, churches in Windsor, ON have been invited to participate in an event called, We Love Windsor Day. This is our way to show love and appreciation for the people of Windsor as a community of believers."
Someone from Indianapolis shares, "Thousands gather on the footsteps of Monument Circle in Indianapolis to pray for their city, birthing a movement called 'City Mosaic,' [which is] churches in partnership praying for peace and justice to make Indianapolis a better place to live."
A Simcoe, ON-based writer says, "Since 2009, a partnership of diverse churches has led to an annual day where churches gather to bless the community. A total of 236 volunteers representing 15 churches participated in last year's event, which was widely hailed as a resounding success."
Taking the message of unity and music from
WE ARE on the road, The City Harmonic launches the "We Are" events beginning Sept. 11 in Gulf Shores, AL. Joined by label mate, Travis Ryan, the events are bringing together local churches for a time of worship, prayer and fellowship as the band encourages cities to unite to serve their communities.
