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.

         THE CITY PRE-MARITAL COURSE — STARTING END MARCH 2026

  • If you are thinking about marriage or in a serious dating relationship, our Pre-Marital Course is designed to help couples build a strong, Christ-centred foundation for life together. 

  • You will explore communication, expectations, conflict, and commitment in a safe and supportive space.

  • Whether you are engaged or discerning the next step, this course is an invitation to grow deeper together and prepare well for the journey ahead.

    WATER BAPTISM —

  • We will be having Water Baptisms at our Resurrection Sunday service on 05 April.

  • If you are a follower of Jesus and have not been water baptised, we encourage you to take this step of obedience.

  • This is a significant milestone in your journey as a disciple so do prayerfully consider to sign up for this round of baptisms.

    PARENTS GATHERING — 22 MARCH

  • We will be gathering all parents for important ministry updates, including a sharing on the Generation Alpha report with the youth ministry team, followed by a time of prayer together.

— ANNOUNCEMENTS WRAP UP —

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.

Transition:

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

  • (Introduce Speaker and/or ongoing series.)

  • (Handover to Speaker by 10.55am latest.)

RESPONSE & MINISTRY
(When Speaker is not closing)

  • (Take over after worship response.)

  • As we remain in this posture of worship, we want to respond to what God is saying to us and for each other.

  • (a) The Ministry Team will also be available on my right to pray with you on specific prayer requests.

  • (b) These are some words of knowledge we received (if any); please come up to the Ministry Team for prayer if you resonate with any of the words.

  • (c) Let us all also look for someone to share and pray with. Let no one leave church without being prayed for.

  • Let me pronounce a blessing over you before we minister to one another.

Option 1:
Numbers 6:24–26

May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you.
May the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace. Amen.”

Option 2:
Ephesians 3:20–21

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,
according to His power that is at work within us,
to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus
throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”

Option 3:
2 Corinthians 13:14

And now may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the love of God our Father,
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit
be with you all, today and always. Amen.”
