Giving
We encourage all members and regular attendees at City Church to give as part of your worshipful gratitude to God and as an opportunity to partner tangibly with all that God is doing at and through City Church. You can place your contribution in the offering box by the main sanctuary doors or visit citychurchrva.com for online giving options. If you are visiting City Church, please don’t feel any compulsion to give. God wants our hearts far more than He needs our money.
Registering for In-Person Worship
Part of our phased re-opening guidelines includes asking you to register for Sunday’s service if you are planning to participate in our in-person worship. To register for our August 23rd service, visit citychurchrva.com/links. The direct link will also be shared in our weekly email and on social media. Registration for in-person worship closes at 6pm on Friday so staff has time to assign seats. Your household will be notified via email of your assigned seat by 24 hours before the worship service. Please note: in order to maintain accurate information as to who is joining us for which service, we ask that you register your household for each worship service you plan to attend.
Happening This Week
Porch Portrait Sessions
In an effort to check in one another and see familiar faces, a few photographers from City Church have volunteered to conduct Porch Portrait sessions over the last two weekends in August. During these sessions, one of our photographers will arrive at your home and take a distanced photo. Participants will also fill out a brief online form sharing who they are and how they’re doing. We’ll share the photos and updates on social media and our website in the days leading up to Welcome Back Sunday in September. Head to citychurchrva.com/links to sign up—please sign up by Thursday, August 20th.
Coming Up Soon
The Old Testament in Seven Sentences
On Sunday, August 30th, we will finish out our Summer Sunday Formation Series called “The Old Testament in Seven Sentences.” The Old Testament tells one cohesive story, but it’s easy to find yourself knee-deep in Levitical laws and lose sight of the plot. This Summer we’ve spent time surveying the over-arching plot of the Old Testament in seven thematic sentences so that we can see how all of these seemingly disparate stories tell the one story of Jesus, even before he arrives in the manger. Class will take place on Zoom (ID: 549-123-7601) 8pm to 9:30pm and will combine teaching and breakout discussions. Learn more by visiting citychurchrva.com/links.
Serving Our Community
Interested in Volunteering?
As we continue to navigate life as a church during this pandemic, we’ve had new volunteer opportunities open up. Volunteers are needed for a variety of tasks including: helping at the registration table, cleaning before and after our worship services, assisting with livestream, and more. We would also love to add more contributors to Good Morning, City Church. If you’re interested in serving in any of these capacities, email Val Catrow at val@citychurchrva.com.
Meals for City Church Families
Several families in the City Church community have welcome babies over the last couple months. If you’re willing and able, please consider bringing one (or more!) of these families a meal as they adjust to life at home with their new additions. To see a list of families in need of meals and access sign-up details, please visit citychurchrva.com/member-care.
