PREPARE & CONNECT
This Week’s Sermon: Our summer series on the Household of God continues this week with a sermon from Phil Davis (a City Church missions partner currently serving in Prague with Serge) on 1 Timothy 6:3-10. We invite you to read ahead as a way to prepare for Sunday’s service.
City Church Basics: Our next session of City Church Basics will take place on Friday, September 16th (7 to 9:30pm) and Saturday, September 17th (9:30am to noon) at Grace Covenant. City Church Basics explains who we are as a church and what it means to be a member. It is a necessary step towards formally joining the church, although membership is not required. If you’re interested in taking part in this next session, please RSVP to Val Catrow (val@citychurchrva.com). Contact Erik (erik@citychurchrva.com) with questions.
GATHER
Prayer Tomorrow: At City Church we strive to be a community of prayer dependent on God for His purpose, protection, and provision. Join us tomorrow, August 11th, at 7am to pray. Meet in the Church office, 3rd floor at Grace Covenant. Enter in the back entrance of building. We hope to see you there. (City Church prayer takes place the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month).
Pennies for Popsicles with Jenna: City Church Kids and friends, come join us for Pennies for Popsicles with Jenna Murphy on Saturday, August 13th from 10-11:30am at the Reppard home.
