Order of Service - October 3, 2026
We're a new church here on the Northshore committed to being a loving community that's shaped by the work of Jesus and joining his mission in the renewal of all things. Whether you're a Christian or simply curious and exploring what it means to believe in Jesus, we hope this brief worship guide will help you follow along and participate in today's service.
If there's any way our church can serve you, questions we can try to answer, or if you just need prayer, please use the Connect Card button to share whatever details you're comfortable with.
We invite you to reflect on this selection of quotes as we prepare our hearts and minds for worship.
"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else”
“Work is not, primarily, a thing one does to live, but the thing one lives to do.”

Each one of us has come today carrying different burdens and anxieties, which might make it challenges to focus on the God and his Word. Here at the beginning of our worship service, we take a few moments to read a Psalm together, meditating on who God is, and praying through his attributes that we find in the passage. Tap on the tabs below as we read together and spend a few moments in a guided time of praying in reverence, response, requests, and readiness.
90 A Prayer of Moses, the man of God.
1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place
in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
3 You return man to dust
and say, “Return, O children of man!”
4 For a thousand years in your sight
are but as yesterday when it is past,
or as a watch in the night.
5 You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream,
like grass that is renewed in the morning:
6 in the morning it flourishes and is renewed;
in the evening it fades and withers.
7 For we are brought to an end by your anger;
by your wrath we are dismayed.
8 You have set our iniquities before you,
our secret sins in the light of your presence.
9 For all our days pass away under your wrath;
we bring our years to an end like a sigh.
10 The years of our life are seventy,
or even by reason of strength eighty;
yet their span is but toil and trouble;
they are soon gone, and we fly away.
11 Who considers the power of your anger,
and your wrath according to the fear of you?
12 So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom.
13 Return, O Lord! How long?
Have pity on your servants!
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
and for as many years as we have seen evil.
16 Let your work be shown to your servants,
and your glorious power to their children.
17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,
and establish the work of our hands upon us;
yes, establish the work of our hands!
Based on the attributes of God we see in this Psalm, close your eyes and complete these sentences as you pray in your heart to him:
First, we come to Him with thanks. Finish this sentence in your prayer right now: “Thank you Lord for being my refuge when …”
Next, we move to our response to the goodness we see of God as we surrender to him and his ways. Finish this sentence as you continue to pray: “I praise You Lord, for bestowing Your favor on me by... ”
Now, we present our requests to God, asking his Spirit to guide our prayers over the concerns we have. Once again, finish this sentence in prayer: “Lord I confess my sin of… and ask you to forgive me.”
Finally we ask for help and strength as we continue to live for Jesus. As we close this time, spend the next few moments finishing this last sentence in prayer: "Rather than lament my life, help me rejoice over…"
All Sufficient Merit
The Worship Initiative
All sufficient merit shining like the sun
A fortune I inherit by no work I have done
My righteousness I forfeit at my Savior's cross
Where all sufficient merit did what I could not
In love He condescended eternal now in time
A life without a blemish The Maker made to die
The law could never save us our lawlessness had won
Until the pure and spotless Lamb had finally come
It is done it is finished
No more debt I owe
Paid in full
All sufficient merit now my own
I lay down my garments any empty boasts
Good works all corrupted by the sinful host
Dressed in my Lord Jesus a crimson robe made white
No more fear of judgement His righteousness is mine
It is done it is finished
No more debt I owe
Paid in full
All sufficient merit now my own
It is done it is finished
No more debt I owe
Paid in full
All sufficient merit now my own
It's now my own
All sufficient merit firm in life and death
The joy of my salvation shall be my final breath
When I stand accepted before the throne of God
I'll gaze upon my Jesus and thank Him for the cross
Yes I'll thank You for the cross
It is done it is finished
No more debt I owe
Paid in full
All sufficient merit now my own
It is done it is finished
No more debt I owe
Paid in full
All sufficient merit now my own
Merit now my own
Merit now my own

26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.
Each week we pray for one of the churches or ministries that we get to serve alongside as part of the Northshore Gospel Network (NGN). We helped start NGN in August 2025 with a mission to provide encouragement, support, and collaboration among churches in multiple denominations as we share the good news of Jesus with every man, woman, and child across the Northshore.
Having looked into the Scriptures and considering Jesus, we are led to respond to who he is and what he has done. Below are three common areas of response
Are you interested in placing your faith in Jesus as a new believer? Proclaiming your faith through baptism? Do you have questions or things you would like to meet with a pastor and discuss? You can come talk to a pastor during our time of response, take a minute to speak after the service, or fill out the Connect Card at the link below, and we'll follow up with you this week.
One of the ways we respond to the preaching of Scripture most weeks is by celebrating communion (also known as the Lord's Supper). During this time of response, all followers of Jesus are invited to come forward to the table on either side of the room and take one cup that has both the bread and juice, representing the body of Christ broken for us and the blood of Christ shed for us. We partake of the meal to remember our ongoing need for a Savior, our overflowing provision through Christ, and to be spiritually nourished by him through his Holy Spirit.
*This meal is only for those who have repented of their sin and placed their faith in the finished work of Jesus. If you are still exploring faith and are not a Christian, then we encourage you to spend this time in prayer, continuing to read Scripture, or joining our church in singing.
One of the ways we respond to Christ giving himself for us is that we also give through his church. Giving is meant to be an act of worship because of what God's grace, not a legalistic way we earn God's grace. If you consider Restoration your church home, then you are welcome to give by placing your offering in the designated box in the lobby or online through the link below.
Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
The Worship Initiative
Come Thou Fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I'm come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart O take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
Prone to wander Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart O take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
Here's my heart O take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
