January 24, 2021 - Sunday Service Worship Guide
Welcome!
Good morning Mercy Hill and happy Sunday to you! If you're new with us, we just wanted to extend a special welcome to you. Feel free to fill out a Connection Card to get more info or prayer. We're glad to have you with us!
If you're tuning in for the Live Stream, we'd encourage everyone to please consider taking a moment to put a comment in the chat box there. Let us know who you are and maybe where you're tuning in from. Say hi. We miss you! And as we get into the message, feel free to share other Scriptures that come to mind, prayer requests that you have, questions that you'd like answered, etc. It would be great to interact even in this limited format.
TOday's Announcements
Here are a few critical announcements to keep in mind:
- Acts 29 Global Prayer Meeting: Mercy Hill is a member of the Acts 29 Network which means our church is a part of a much larger story of church planting and the spreading of the gospel around the world. We invite you to consider attending the quarterly Global Prayer Meetings as a way of becoming more aware of this reality and feeling more connected to our global mission and vision. The first global prayer meeting of 2021 will be on January 26th at 12:00pm PST. Please register in advance for this event at at a29.co/GP-Jan. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at .
- Sunday Prayer Walk: Due to the weather, this is being rescheduled for NEXT Sunday, January 31st. Lord willing, we will gather after the Service at 1:00pm to do a prayer walk in the local neighborhood! So grab a quick lunch and consider joining us to pray for our neighboring community. We hope to have the opportunity to share the gospel with those who are open and ready to engage. We'll have a brief time before the prayer walk to discuss what to pray for, so we invite anyone regardless of experience to join and learn. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Chris Keener at .
- The Afterparty: Because we're meeting only online today, and because we had a shorter Service than usual, The Afterparty is back! Jump on into this Zoom room immediately following the Service for a time of sermon discussion and prayer. Click here to enter.
- Mercy Hill Kids Online Worship: Mercy Hill Kids is meeting at 11:45am (both Preschool and Elementary class). Go here to read more and to find a link to sign in!
- Home Groups: Many of our Home Groups have moved to a hybrid (in-person + virtual) format. Whatever your comfort level with meeting, you're welcome to come check one out. Find one to join here. You are not alone!
- COVID-19 SOS Form: If you or anyone you know needs help during this challenging time, we'd love to do what we can! Fill out the form here.

Mercy Hill Kids
While difficult, this pandemic does create a wonderful chance for parents to step towards their God-given call as chief disciplers of their kids. We know this may feel overwhelming and that is why we want to help! Parents of Mercy Hill children should have already received an email from the Director of Mercy Hill Kids, Christina Lugo, regarding ways you can utilize the Gospel Project curriculum at home. This information has also been included on our blog here. Beyond this, each Sunday, we are also looking to host an online worship gathering for our kids. You can check here for more details. We'd love to have you join us!
If you have any questions or need help in any way, don't hesitate to reach out to Christina at
Have a Wonderful Week!
