February 20, 2022 - 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!
TOday's Announcements
Here are a few critical announcements to keep in mind:
Members' Meeting
All covenant members (and those in process) are invited to join us for our biannual Members' Meeting! Please find the details below:
When is it? After the service on Sunday, March 6th from 12:30-2:00pm. (Note: There will be an optional Q&A afterwards for any who'd like to participate.)
Where is it? We'll meet outside at the picnic tables in the pavilion around the back of Allen at Steinbeck Elementary where we hold the services.
What about lunch? There will be a free sandwich lunch available (from Jersey Mike's) for any who RSVP. If you have certain food allergies or prefer something else, we ask that you please secure that yourself. Sorry!
What about kids? Kids are welcome too, of course, though you should know that we currently do not plan to have childcare. They will need to be under your supervision during the meeting. (Note: There is a playground right off of our meeting space they can use if you'd like.)
Covenant members will receive a separate link to RSVP, please be sure to do so! If you are not currently a covenant member, but are interested in becoming one, you can read more about the process here!
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at .
Mercy Hill Men's Study!
Last year a small group of men went through the book of Titus. This year let's do Isaiah! But not the whole book—just chapters 40 through 44 over eight weeks starting February 17th. There is a little homework involved in this study. We are planning to meet from 7:00-9:00pm on Thursday evenings via Zoom.
To sign up, click here.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Bob Coffey at .
Covenant Membership Class - Last Call!
At the request of some in the congregation, registration for the Covenant Membership Class is now open! If you are interested in becoming a member or simply want to re-familiarize yourself with what we’re all about, please register online here. This is the LAST CALL. We'll soon circle back with all registrants to pick a Sunday to hold the class. To learn more, visit our Covenant Membership page online.

Mercy Hill Kids - Online Today!
SPECIAL NOTE: Talking with parents, we decided to move all of February classes online and we'll be re-launching the in-person classes on the first Sunday of March. Stay tuned!
TODAY'S CLASS: ONLINE
Both Preschool and Elementary children (2.5 years thru 5th grade) will be meeting at 11:45am via the Zoom. Click here for the link. We look forward to seeing you there!
Note: Even on the weeks that we don't offer in-person instruction for your children, they are more than welcome to come to the church and join with you in the service. We will always have available "Sermon Notes for Kids" worksheets and pre-packaged crayons for them to make use of. Our Sunday Services will likely end around 11:30am. This should give you time to join us in-person and then still get home to get those kids online!
For more information, please contact Christina Lugo at .
Mercy Hill Kids - Calling All Volunteers!
As we look to ramp back up our in-person kids ministry, we'd love it if you'd prayerfully consider joining the team. What a great pleasure and privilege it is to get to serve these children and reach with them the good news of Jesus!

Mercy Hill Youth Hangout - Let's Play Some Games!
All Mercy Hill Youth (6th thru 12th grade) are invited to join us after service today at 12:30pm for a time of fun. Food will be provided and board games will be played. The youth are encouraged to invite a friend and bring their favorite board game if they have one. Some of Mercy Hill's young adults will also be joining to hangout with the youth. Weather permitting, we'll meet at the picnic tables in the pavilion around the back of Allen at Steinbeck Elementary. See ya there!

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! Every Sunday we have something for your kids, either in-person or online. You can check our church calendar to see what's happening on a particular date. We'd love to have you join us!
