What is the Gospel? The gospel is news rather than instruction. The gospel is grace rather than merit. The gospel is reversal of the weak and the strong. Redeemer’s Vision: • Calling people to authentic relationships with Christ and one another. • Building a community of hope, healing, joy and worship. • Sending one another into the world to share the good news of Christ. Song of Gathering and Preparation We prepare our hearts, minds and bodies for worship by singing about the God we serve.

And we’ll join in the feast of heaven - around the table of the King Celebration of the Lord’s Supper Benediction The Pastor raises his hands to remind us that because the hand of God’s wrath was raised against Jesus, we are able to receive the hand of God’s blessing as we are sent out to live our lives to the glory of God.
