Term One 2024

Welcome to City on a Hill Evangelical Church's Elvanto page.

Here is where we do our planning and rostering to help make church run smoothly each and every Sunday so that we might be able to share the great news of Jesus with Wellington. Once you've logged in, then you will be able to see your rosters tasks, log unavailability and update your details. If you need a login please send an email to andrew@cityonahill.co.nz. 

Down below are some posts that outline the different rostered tasks. Take a look if you are unsure what your role involves.

Take a look at the document attached for all the things you need to know when leading Kids Church or Creche at City on a Hill.

Here are some notes to help you in leading prayer at church on a Sunday.

1. Prepare what you are going to be praying about in advance. It is good to plan your prayers using categories (global issues, national issues, city, church, individuals) to make sure we pray for a good selection of things.
2. Get some prayer points from our link missionaries (contact Andrew or Claire if not sure where to find them).
3. Use the Bible to shape your prayers! If you're not sure what to pray, take a look at the Psalms or even the beginning of many of Paul's letters.
4. Is there a prayer in the passage being preached on this week, or in the book we’re preaching through? You could use those.
5. If you want to use a set prayer (Lord's Prayer or Confession), contact Andrew to have it placed into the slides for Sunday.
6. Your prayers don't need to be long winded or use big words. Aim for about 5 mins but less is fine too.
7. On Sunday touch base with the service leader so that they know you are ready.
8. When it comes time to pray (usually after the song that comes after the sermon at Morning Church or after Q&A at Night Church) go right up to the microphone.
9. Adjust the microphone so that it is pointing at the middle of your face. You don't need to get too close to the mic as it will pick up your voice without you speaking directly into it.
10. Introduce yourself, announce that we are now going to pray and invite people to pray with you.
11. PRAY!
