May 30, 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 gathering with us in person, please don't forget to register if you haven't already. 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.
Call to Worship
At Your Name
At Your name the mountains shake and crumble
At Your name the oceans roar and tumble
At Your name Angels will bow
The earth will rejoice Your people cry out
Lord of all the earth
We shout Your name, shout Your name
Filling up the skies
With endless praise, endless praise
Yahweh, Yahweh
We love to shout Your name, oh Lord
At Your name the morning breaks in Glory
At Your name creation sings Your story
There is no one like our God
We will praise you, praise you
There is no one like our God
We will sing, we will sing
TOday's Announcements
Here are a few critical announcements to keep in mind:
- First Sunday Family Service: As things continue to open up, we've now established a First Sunday Family Service rhythm. While families are certainly welcome to join us in-person every Sunday, on the first Sundays of each month we especially invite our families to prioritize gathering together in-person with the rest of the church body. For the service, families can sit at the covered picnic tables or bring a blanket, a tent, or pack-n-play to help corral the kiddos if needed. We will be providing a simple craft and activity sheets for the kiddos during the service but will not be providing any snacks. The water fountain is also off limits currently so please plan ahead. If needed, we do rent out a porta potty that families can use. An in-depth video about our safety measures and other important information can be watched here. A map of the outdoor service area can be found here. (Please Note: We will NOT have the online zoom class during these First Sunday Family Services.) NEXT FIRST SUNDAY FAMILY SERVICE: JUNE 6, 2021. To learn more about the in-person Sunday Service and to register your family, go here. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Christina Lugo at .
- COVID-19 Updates: When the state of California opens further on June 15th, we will be looking to update our policies on things like masks, gatherings, etc. as well. Please keep an eye out for these changes coming soon!
- Mercy Hill Kids Online Worship: Mercy Hill Kids is meeting at 11:45 am (both Preschool and Elementary class). Go here to read more and to find a link to sign in! For more information, please contact Christina Lugo at

- 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!

Call to Response
1. Sing:
As the Deer
As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee.
You alone are my strength my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship You
I love you more than gold or silver
Only You can satisfy
You alone are the real joy giver
And the apple of my eye
You're my friend and you are my brother
Even though you are a king
I love you more than any other
So much more than anything
God of This City
You're the God of this city
You're the King of these people
You're the Lord of this nation
You are
You’re the light in this darkness
You’re the hope to the hopeless
You’re the peace to the restless
You are
There is no one like our God
There is no one like our God
Greater things have yet to come
Greater things are still to be done
In this city (x2)
2. Pray:
If you need prayer in any way, please either: (1) fill out a Connection Card; or (2) post your request to our Mercy Hill Community Facebook Group. We’d love to be lifting you up and caring for you in this time!
3. Give:
If you’d like to give an offering this morning, you can give online here. Thanks for your generosity!
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, most Sundays, we are also hosting 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!
