  • Great 20th Century Missionary Pioneer: On Thursday, November 10th, Stony Point Church will host George Verwer, founder and former International Director of Operation Mobilization. Mr. Verwer will share about how hunger for God was ignited during his turbulent teenage years and how God led him to ignite a dynamic global missionary movement. A taco dinner will be served from 5:30pm to 6:15pm; Mr. Verwer will share from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. Please RSVP here. Contact Liz Crim (liz.crim@gmail.com) with questions.
  • Men's Hike to Crabtree Falls: Please join the men of City Church on a hiking trip to Crabtree Falls, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway, on Saturday, November 19th. We will meet at the Short Pump Whole Foods at 8:00 am and carpool/caravan up to the trail parking lot. The hike is 3.8 miles roundtrip with an easy/moderate difficulty level, that should take us no more than four hours to complete, including time to eat lunch at the halfway point. Our estimated time of return to Richmond is 4:00 pm. Little men are invited as well, so feel free to bring your son, nephew, little brother, etc. If you plan on coming, fill out this form to give us a heads up.
  • Race and the Church: The next installment of Race and the Church is scheduled for Saturday, November 19th at 9am at Sycamore Presbyterian Church in Midlothian (510 Coalfield Road).

  • Christmas Pageant, Party & Sing-Along: Our Christmas celebration will take place on Saturday, December 3rd here at Grace Covenant. We’ll kick things off with the pageant at 5:30, followed by dinner, and a fantastic Christmas carol sing-along. Please bring a dish to share and invite your friends to join us–this event is a wonderul way to introduce new people to our church community. Ornament invitations will be available at the front and back doors of church--please take a few and pass them along to friends and family.
  • Art for Advent: City Church is issuing a call to all artists to create and/or submit pieces for Art for Advent. Recognizing the important ways that art can help us experience God, we invite submissions on our Advent theme from the book of "Micah: Waiting for the Lord." This art will be featured during worship and at a reception on one Sunday during December. All pieces need to be received by Sunday, November 20. Questions can be directed to Emily Osborne (eechildrensdesign@gmail.com).
