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 October 4th, visit our website, citychurchrva.com. 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.
Groups for Growth
City Church is not a church with small groups, but a church of smaller groups. “Smaller groups” can mean a few different things: discipleship groups, women’s or men’s bible studies, or City Groups. To learn more about these groups, please contact Harrison at harrison@citychurchrva.com.
After Today’s Service
Middle School Youth Group
Our middle school Bible study will begin meeting this evening for one hour after the worship service; we’ll then meet every second and fourth Sunday. Meetings will take place outside, weather permitting. Should we have to move inside, we’ll be physically-distanced and will wear our masks. For safety reasons, food will not be provided, but attendees are welcome to bring snacks. If you have any questions about this group, please contact Jim Pulizzi at jim@citychurchrva.com.
Happening This Week
40 Days for Life
From now until November 1st, you’re invited to join with others from City Church and with Christians throughout Richmond in praying during 40 Days for Life an international effort of prayer to end abortion and promote a wholistic ethic of life. On Wednesday morning, September 30, from 6:30am to 7:30am, we will meet for prayer outside of the Planned Parenthood facility on Hamilton Street. All are welcome. For more information, please contact Jeremy Pryor (pryor16@gmail.com).
Men’s Hangout at Triple Crossing
Please join us for a hangout on the patio at Triple Crossing Fulton (5203 Hatcher Street) at 8pm on Thursday, October 1st. Contact Harrison (harrison@citychurchrva.com) with questions. Please remember to bring a mask!
Coming Up Soon
Congregational Meeting on October 25th
We will have a congregational meeting on Sunday, October 25th after the worship service to elect deacons. Our deacon candidates are: Stephen Day and Seth Huffman. All are welcome to attend the meeting; all communing members of City Church are eligible to vote. To learn more about the office of deacon, the selection and election process, and our candidates, visit citychurchrva.com/links.
Serving Our Community
Mercy Fund
This Sunday is the final Sunday of the month, a time when we take a special offering for the Mercy Fund. We use the Mercy Fund to help those in our congregation and community with emergent financial needs. Please prayerfully consider what you might give. If you are in need of financial assistance or are aware of someone who is, please reach out to our staff. We will forward your request to the deacons in charge of the Mercy Fund, Eric Morgan and Alex Brito. All requests are kept confidential. If you’d like to give to the mercy fund online, please go to citychurchrva.com/giving.
