January 17, 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.
Call to Worship
Because of Your Love
Jesus you endured my pain
Savior you bore all my shame
All because of your love
Maker of the universe
Broken for the sins of the earth
All because of your love
Because of your cross my debt is paid
Because of your blood my sins are washed away
Now all of my life, I freely give
Because of your love,
Because of your love I live
Innocent and holy king
You died to set the captive free
All because of your love
Lord you gave your life for me
I will give my life to you
All because of your love
You did it for me, you did it for love
It’s your victory, Jesus you are enough
Goodness of God
I love You Lord
Oh Your mercy never fails me
All my days
I’ve been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
I will sing of the goodness of God
All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God
I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
In darkest nights
You are close like no other
I’ve known You as a father
I’ve known You as a friend
I have lived in the goodness of God
Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
With my life laid down, I’m surrendered now,
I give You everything
Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
TOday's Announcements
Here are a few critical announcements to keep in mind:
- Sunday Prayer Walk: We will be gathering after service next Sunday 1/24 at 1 PM to do a prayer walk in the local neighborhood! So grab lunch after service, and consider joining us to pray for our neighboring community, as 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
- Communion Elements: We will be taking communion together immediately following the sermon. We have prepackaged elements at the Welcome Table. If you haven't already picked them up, feel free to do so now. For those joining virtually, please plan to have those items ready as well.
- 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!
- All Church Prayer: The All Church Prayer meeting will be held online tonight beginning at 6:00pm. At Mercy Hill we believe that prayer is the start of everything good. Would you make a priority of seeking God together with us?! Find information to connect to the with us on Zoom here.
- Welcoming into Covenant Membership: This morning please join us in welcoming in four new Covenant Members: Manzhen Chen, Bob and Becky Durstenfeld, and Jolie Huang! Covenant membership at Mercy Hill is a way of going all in with us as we commit to “be the body” here and now together (1 Cor 12:27). It’s a way of formalizing your commitment to this church—its members, leaders, mission, and ministries. It’s a promise we make to one another—that we will participate meaningfully in this local assembly as we pursue God’s presence, grow together as His people, and live for His purpose in the world.

Call to Response
1. Sing:
Remembrance
I take the bread of life
Broken for all my sin
Your body crucified
To make me whole again
I will recall the cup
Poured out in sacrifice
To trade this sinner's end
For Your new covenant
Hallelujah I'll live my life in remembrance
Hallelujah Your promise I won't forget
I'll walk salvation's road
With fear and trembling
Your way borne as my own
As Christ is formed in me
If ever I should lose my way
If ever I deny Your grace
Remind me of the price You paid
Hallelujah I'll live in remembrance
You've been so, so good to me
You've been so, so good to me
Oh, to think where I would be
If not for You If not for You
As far as heights reach from the depths
As far as east is from the west
So far Your grace has carried me
Until I see You face to face
Until at last I've won my race
Remind me You're not finished yet
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah I'll live in remembrance
You Are My All in All
You are my strength when I am weak,
You are the treasure that I seek,
You are my all in all.
Seeking You as a precious jewel,
Lord to give up I'd be a fool,
You are my all in all.
Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is Your name!
Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is Your name!
Taking my sin, my cross, my shame,
Rising again I bless Your name,
You are my all in all.
When I fall down You pick me up,
When I am dry You fill my cup,
You are my all in all.

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!
