TOday's Announcements

Here are a few critical announcements to keep in mind:

Week of Prayer - Kicking off Next Week!

The church is always called to be praying and seeking God together, but sometimes it is good to set aside special time to do so.  That's what we are looking to do this first week of the year—Sunday (1/2) thru Sunday (1/9). Here are a few things to look forward to: 

•  We will have a special sermon delivered on the front end of this week (1/2) to help our community see the importance of engaging in this together.
•  On the first Sunday of this week (1/2), we invite you to consider fasting from lunch or dinner and would especially love it if you'd join us for our All Church Prayer meeting in the evening later that day where we'll have an extended time of prayer together.
•  We will provide a Prayer Guide to give you ideas of what to pray for as well as space to record your prayers and things God is putting on your heart.  The start of a new year naturally gets us reflecting on things—where we’ve been and where we hope to go.  This guide has been designed to help you in this and offer a sort of framework for your evaluation and planning.
•  We will provide daily reminders coinciding with the Prayer Guide that will be posted to our Mercy Hill Community Facebook Group.  In this space we encourage you to engage with one another—sharing your prayers, prayer requests, verses of Scripture, and anything else God may put on your heart.  Please do request to join the group if you haven't already so you can take part!
•  We invite you to seriously consider jumping into our online Prayer Room on Wednesday of this week (1/5) from noon to 1:00pm.
•  We will be encouraging all of our Home Groups to discuss the sermon and Prayer Guide and to give additional time during their weekly meetings for prayer.  (If you’re not already a part of a Home Group, now’s the time!  Find one to join here.)

We really hope you will dive into this with us.  We're excited to see what our God will do!

Mercy Hill Kids - Online Today!

Due to the pandemic and the varying comfort levels each family has with their kids attending class in-person, we have established a rhythm for Mercy Hill Kids that allows for both online and in-person worship.  On the first and third Sundays of each month, Mercy Hill Kids has in-person instruction for Preschool and Elementary children (2.5 years thru 5th grade).  On the off-weeks, Mercy Hill Kids meets online. 

Today's class is ONLINE.  It begins at 11:45am.  Go here to read more and to find a link to sign in!  

For more information, please contact Christina Lugo at   .

Home Groups are the heartbeat of our church.  They are the place where our values of Faith, Community, and Mission gain traction in the everyday.  Our hope is to have "everyone in one"!
