Digital Church Order of Service – September 27
Welcome to Stevens Road Baptist Digital Church. We stream our digital service using Facebook & YouTube Premiere. The service goes live at 10:15am on both social media platforms. Before the service we guide you through a time of prayer, worship, and offering through Facebook posts or you can follow along on this page. This page will be updated weekly between Friday and Saturday afternoon.
We pray that your digital church experience will draw you closer to Jesus and enrich your faith. We are so glad to be able to connect with you. Some people are beginning to gather together in person at the church on Sunday morning, but others not quite ready to be in a group setting. Just because you are choosing to stay at home doesn’t mean we can’t still do church and be the church.
9:45
Get Ready
Take a moment and think about times when your boldness may have overwhelmed your wisdom. What were you doing, what happened, what were you thinking? Give thanks to God for those moments of boldness that we have, and those moments of wisdom, and pray that they come together more often.
9:50
Call to Worship
Read aloud this call to worship:
We do not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.
Jesus said, “If anyone wants to follow me,
let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily.”
Praise the Lord!
The Lord’s name be praised!
9:55
Worship through Music
Our Music Director, David, has put together a great set list for you to listen to today and you can find it here.
Take some time to listen any of the songs that speak to you the most this morning and consider singing along. We’ve also included a few children’s songs.
You can find the playlist here: Worship Playlist
10:05
Worship in Prayer
Take a moment to pray.
In your mercy, Lord my God, tell me what you are to me. “Say to my soul, I am your salvation.” So speak that I may hear you. The ears of my heart are turned to you, Lord; open them and say to my soul: “I am your salvation.” I will run after your voice, and I will lay hold of you. Do not hide your face from me. Let me see your face even if I die, for if I see it not, I shall die of longing. Amen.
10:10

For Explorers –
As Pastor Christopher begins a new series about the 12 disciples we are going to follow along and create flat disciples (like Flat Stanley). Over the weeks kids can collect all the disciples and props to go along. Each week will have a story that they can read and retell with their flat disciples.
Disciple: Us!
Story: The Gift of the Holy Spirit –
Acts 2:1-47
Verse: Acts 2:38-39
“Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. This promise is to you, to your children, and to those far away – all who have been called by the Lord our God.”
Note: It’s hard to find stories for all of the disciples. Today’s stories include all the disciples.
Materials Needed:
– Paper
– Pencil and markers
– Scissors
– Draw, colour, and then cut out disciple and props
– 1 large ziplock bag or large envelope or something else to keep flat disciples together so it is easy to find each week and keep everything together.
– Find all the videos you need to make your flat disciples, boat and mini book on our “Explorers Project: How to Videos” playlist on YouTube at this link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ8sW-qaLLd4i7tLfsOFjpswUb9CC6J13
11:15
Worship Music
We’ve wrapped up on Facebook, why not head back to that list of music and close out your service time with another song.

Since we aren’t gathering for Explorers Pastor Erin recommends watching Kids Online Church with Laura. You can find this week’s video at the link to the YouTube playlist below. We recommend watching the videos as a family. You can also sign up for activity packs – the link is at the end of the video.
The videos come from Pastor Christopher and Pastor Erin’s friend, Laura O’Rourke, who is the director of children’s ministry at Saint Benedict Parish, Halifax.
