What you need to know about our outdoor gathering:

Bring chairs and blankets for seating. Blankets might be helpful for younger kids so that they can see the space they need to stay in. Also, if your kids need toys or activities during the gathering, it's not a problem, bring them too.

Wear masks, We will be outside and socially distant, but wearing a mask is still a good idea.

The Gathering will be around 45 mins. Mostly singing and sharing.

Following the Gathering, make an effort not to start congregating together too close. I know this will be hard, but we need to respect each other as we Gather and maintain social distancing.


Outdoor Liturgy

Welcome

Call to Worship - Psalm 8

1 O Lord, our Lord,

how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory above the heavens.

2 Out of the mouth of babies and infants,

you have established strength because of your foes,

to still the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

4 what is man that you are mindful of him,

and the son of man that you care for him?

5 Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings[b]

and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;

you have put all things under his feet,

7 all sheep and oxen,

and also the beasts of the field,

8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,

whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

9 O Lord, our Lord,

how majestic is your name in all the earth!

How Deep the Father’s Love For Us

How vast beyond all measure

That He should give His only son

To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss

The Father turns His face away

As wounds which mar the Chosen One

Bring many son's to glory

Behold the Man upon the cross

My sin upon His shoulder

Ashamed I hear my mocking voice

Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held Him there

Until it was accomplished

His dying breath has brought me life

I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything

No gifts no power no wisdom

But I will boast in Jesus Christ

His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward

I cannot give an answer

But this I know with all my heart

His wounds have paid my ransom

Why should I gain from His reward

I cannot give an answer

But this I know with all my heart

His wounds have paid my ransom

Reckless Love

Before I spoke a word,

You were singing over me

You have been so, so good to me

Before I took a breath,

You breathed Your life in me

You have been so, so kind to me

Chorus

Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God

Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine

I couldn't earn it, I don't deserve it, still You give Yourself away

Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God

When I was Your foe,

Still Your love fought for me

You have been so, so good to me

When I felt no worth,

You paid it all for me

You have been so, so kind to me

There's no shadow You won't light up

Mountain You won't climb up, coming after me

There's no wall You won't kick down

Lie You won't tear down, coming after me

Evidences of God’s Grace - Eph 4:15-16

Sermon - The Love of Christ Compels Us - 2 Corinthians 5:14

It Is Well

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,

When sorrows like sea billows roll

Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say

It is well, it is well, with my soul

It is well (It is well)

With my soul (with my soul)

It is well, it is well with my soul

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,

Let this blest assurance control,

That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,

And hath shed His own blood for my soul

It is well (it is well)

With my soul (with my soul)

It is well, it is well with my soul

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought

My sin, not in part but the whole,

Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, o my soul

And, Lord, haste the day

When my faith shall be sight

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll

The trump shall resound

The Lord shall descend

Even so it is well with my soul

It is well (it is well)

With my soul (with my soul)

It is well, it is well with my soul

Jesus is Better

There is no other, so sure and steady

My hope is held in Your hand

When castles crumble, and breath is fleeting

Upon this rock I will stand, upon this rock I will stand

CHORUS:

Glory, glory, we have no other king

But Jesus Lord of all

We raise the anthem our loudest praises ring

We crown Him Lord of all

Your kindly rule has shattered and broke

The curse of sin's tyranny

My life is hidden 'neath Heaven's shadow

Your crimson flood covers me, Your crimson flood covers me


In all my sorrows Jesus is better, make my heart believe

In every vict'ry Jesus is better, make my heart believe

Than any comfort Jesus is better, make my heart believe

More than all riches Jesus is better, make my heart believe

Our souls declaring: Jesus is better, make my heart believe

Our song eternal: Jesus is better, make my heart believe

Glory, glory, we have no other king

Doxology

Praise God from whom all blessings flow

Praise Him all creatures here below

Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

Amen
