Sunday, June 2 City Serve Program

Welcome To Church of The Way!
 
Thank you for joining Church of The Way on this very special Sunday. We are a church for the Downriver Community, and we want all of Downriver to experience the love of Jesus in a real, tangible way. Today, over 200 people will be sent out into the community to love and serve in Jesus’ name. We have serve opportunities from Gibraltar to Detroit and everywhere in between. If you are joining us for the first time, we would love for you to jump in and serve, too! There is a table located at the back of the tent where you can fill out a connection card and let us know which of the remaining opportunities you would like to be involved with.
We are excited for the lives that will be impacted, the hearts that will be stirred, and the hope that will be found in Jesus through this weekend.

We hope you will join us next Sunday as we return to our regular service times. 9:30a and 11:00a

Song 1- This is Our God

Verse
Remember those walls that we called sin and shame
They were like prisons that we couldn’t escape
But He came and He died, and He rose
Those walls are rubble now

Verse
Remember those giants we called death and grave
They were like mountains that stood in our way
But He came and He died and He rose
Those giants are dead now

Chorus
This is our God this is who He is
He loves us
This is our God this is what He does
He saves us
He bore the cross beat the grave
Let heaven and earth proclaim
This is our God King Jesus

Verse
Remember that fear that took our breath away
Faith so weak that we could barely pray
But He heard every word every whisper
Now those altars in the wilderness
Tell the story of His faithfulness
Never once did He fail and He never will

Chorus
This is our God this is who He is
He loves us
This is our God this is what He does
He saves us
He bore the cross beat the grave
Let heaven and earth proclaim
This is our God King Jesus

Bridge
Who pulled me out of that pit
He did He did
Who paid for all of our sin
Nobody but Jesus
Who pulled me out of that pit
He did He did
Who paid for all of our sin
Nobody but Jesus
Who rescued me from that grave
Yahweh Yahweh
Who gets the glory and praise
Nobody but Jesus
Who rescued me from that grave
Yahweh Yahweh
Who gets the glory and praise
Nobody but Him

Chorus
This is our God this is who He is
He loves us
This is our God this is what He does

He bore the cross beat the grave
Let heaven and earth proclaim

He bore the cross beat the grave
Let heaven and earth proclaim
This is our God King Jesus

Song 2- I've Witnessed It

You were there and You're here right now
In every high and every low
You never left me without hope
You were good and You're good right now

So I'll pour out my praise again
You're worthy God You're worthy of all of it

Verse
You left the throne and chose the cross
Laid down Your life to rescue us
The Savior then the Savior now
But even death was not the end
You conquered hell so I could live
Resurrecting then resurrecting now
Resurrecting then resurrecting now

You save and I've witnessed it
And I'm confident I'll see it again and again

To the broken I've witnessed it
To the hurting I've witnessed it
To the lost I will witness it

To my city I've witnessed it
To the nations I've witnessed it
And I'll tell them this
I'll tell them what I've witnessed
