Digital Church Order of Service – July 5
Welcome to Stevens Road Baptist Digital Church. We stream our digital service using Facebook Premiere. The service goes live at 10:15am. 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 on or before Saturday afternoons.
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. Just because we can’t gather together in person, doesn’t mean we can’t still do church and be the church.

Get Ready
Today is the first Sunday of July and we are commemorating the life, death and resurrection of Jesus through communion. Take a few moments and reflect on the deep love that your heavenly father has for you. Such great love that he would go to such great lengths to make it possible for you to have a relationship with him again.

Worship in Prayer
Take a moment to pray.
O God our King, by the resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ on the first day of the week, you conquered sin, put death to flight, and gave us the hope of everlasting life: Redeem all our days by this victory; forgive our sins, banish our fears, make us bold to praise you and to do your will; and steel us to wait for the consummation of your kingdom on the last great Day; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
