Getting Connected

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 September 13th service, 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. 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.
After Today’s Service
Prayer at Marcus-David Peters/Lee Circle
All are welcome to take part in a time of prayer after today’s service out at Lee/Marcus-David Peters Circle. Please head over (and bring your mask) once you’re dismissed from the service.
Happening This Week
Wednesday Prayer
We pray together on 2nd and 4th Wednesday at 6:30am. All are welcome to join us on September 9th. We will be physically-distanced, and masks are required in the building. This is one way to take part in our commitment as a body to praying for justice and peace in our city and country.
Share Your Photos with Us!
Welcome Back Sunday is on September 13th! We’re putting together something special to celebrate, but we need your help. We need your photos—those that capture what life has been like over the last several months. If you’d like to share, please email your photos to WBS@citychurchrva.com by Thursday, September 10th. (And if you didn’t get to schedule a Porch Portrait but want to share a selfie with us, please do that, too!)
Coming Up Soon
Welcome Back Sunday
Next Sunday is our annual Welcome Back Sunday celebration. This is a time when we welcome old and new friends to City Church after summer vacations and look forward to the fall. This year’s celebration will look a little different, but we will celebrate! Boxed dinners will be provided, and you are welcome to enjoy them out on the patio or the parking lot. Brings chairs and blankets!
Reconciliation Task Force
City Church is convening a task force to help take concrete steps towards growing as a church committed to racial reconciliation. The task force will meet virtually throughout the fall and winter with the purpose of auditing what other churches have done, evaluating our church’s current practices, and recommending goals and next steps. If you are interested, please contact Harrison Ford (harrison@citychurchrva.com) or George Davis (georgebdavis1013@gmail.com) before Friday, September 18th.
Serving Our Community
Volunteer with Youth Life Foundation of Richmond
As local public schools get ready to being the school year virtually, City Church partner Youth Life Foundation of Richmond is recruiting volunteers to help provide students with in-person support in their online learning. Volunteers will serve in 2-3 hour blocks either in the morning or afternoon at their learning centers. If you’re interested in volunteering, visit ylfr.org.
