Save the date to kick off Labor Day weekend with City Church at the Gateway Cup: Tour de Lafayette. The annual Tour de Lafayette brings high-speed bicycle racing right past our front door. We are opening up the church parking lot as a central spot to hang out, meet the neighbors, and watch the cyclists loop the square. Whether you plan to drop by for an hour or hang out late into the night, this is a relaxed, open event for everyone—families, friends and neighborhood newcomers.
