2nd WELCOME

  • Welcome to Sunday service! I am (insert your name), one of the pastors / staff at The City.

  • If you are watching online, thank you for joining us. We hope to see you at our service soon.

    Newcomers:

  • We also want to welcome you if you are visiting for the first time. We are so thankful you are here. (“Give us a wave / raise your hands” — this is to acknowledge them.)

  • There is a QR code on screen that you can scan to find out more about our church and who we are.

  • After service, we invite you to join us at the Welcome Hub just outside the hall. We have coffee, a small gift for you, and it is an opportunity for you to meet someone and ask questions.

  • You can also fill in a Connect Card and pass it to a host at the Welcome Hub or to one of our pastors at the front. If you did not receive one, you can head to the Welcome Hub to get one too.

  • We would love to meet you and help you get connected with communities and events happening in church. We hope to see you at the Welcome Hub after service!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

We have some upcoming events and I would like to highlight a couple of them.

SEASONAL LIFEGROUP —

  • We are gathering interest for an 8-week seasonal LifeGroup for those who are new to The City, not currently plugged into a group, or simply curious about what community life here is like

  • Hosted by Ps. Andre and Emi, this group is a space to connect with others, build friendships, share meals, pray together and journey alongside one another for a season. 

  • Our heart is that everyone would find a place where they are known, cared for and can grow in faith and life together.

  • If you have been looking for a way to get more connected, or would just like to experience community at The City, we would really love to invite you to be a part of this.

PROPHETIC FOUNDATIONS SEMINAR — 19 JUNE, 7.30PM

  • We are hosting a one-night prophetic seminar with Ps. Nicky Raiborde — Lead Pastor of International Family Church in Lexington, South Carolina (USA).

  • Nicky carries a strong prophetic and teaching gift, known for communicating the Word of God with simplicity and clarity alongside demonstrations of the Holy Spirit’s power. He has ministered in many nations and lectures regularly at Tung Ling Bible School in Singapore.

  • This seminar will explore the purpose of prophecy, how the Holy Spirit speaks through believers to strengthen and encourage others, and how to grow in discernment, wisdom, and confidence in prophetic ministry.

  • Whether you are curious about the prophetic, newly stepping out, or desiring to grow in maturity and understanding, come join us for this seminar!

  • Register at www.thecity.sg/events today!

CHURCH CAMP 2027 — SAVE THE DATE

  • We are excited to announce that we will be having Church Camp on 11 - 14 June 2027!

  • Here at The City, we do church camp every other year. There is no camp this year, and we will resume next year.

  • Please save the dates, take your leave, and come away together for a time of seeking and encountering God as a community.

— ANNOUNCEMENTS WRAP UP —

  • More information on these and other events can be found at www.thecity.sg/events, or subscribe to our Telegram channel for the latest news.

GIVING

  • We will now transition to a time of giving.

  • To give, you can open your banking app to scan the QR Code on the screen.

  • Please stand as we pray this liturgy together as a way to posture our hearts in giving and to renew our dependence on God.

         (Read liturgy below).

Father, we come before You with grateful hearts. You have welcomed us in through Your Son and given us every good gift.

All that we have belongs to You, and out of Your abundance we freely give today. Free us from the burden of endless accumulation, and teach us to unclench our fists from what we cannot keep.

Help us to be faithful stewards who give cheerfully — not from obligation, but with open hearts that love You and serve others.

Father, receive these gifts and use them for Your Kingdom and Your name’s sake. AMEN.

  • Please be seated. The QR Code will be on the screen for a while more.

PASSING THE PEACE

  • At this time, we want to welcome one another as members of God’s family.

  • Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you."

  • When we pass the peace, we are not merely exchanging pleasantries. We are declaring that we belong to Christ and that, in Him, we belong to one another.

  • Let us read these words together:

  • Chair: "The peace of the Lord be with you always."

  • Congregation: "And also with you."

  • Now, let us take a moment to greet someone — perhaps someone new, or someone you have not spoken with in a while — and pass the peace of Christ to one another.

SCRIPTURE READER & TRANSITION

  • (Introduce Speaker and/or ongoing series.)

  • We have Janice Chern speaking for Week 5 of the Paradoxology series this morning.

  • Before she comes to speak, let us welcome our Scripture Reader for the week: Chua Huimin.

  • (Ensure to handover to Scripture Reader by 10.55am latest.)
