RISE Together

RISE TOGETHER is a Gospel-centered gathering of evangelical churches from across the Shenandoah valley for Christ-exalting worship, missional & intercessory prayer, and the collective action of giving to support
Samaritan’s Purse’s U.S. Emergency Relief work.

EVENING ELEMENTS
Worship — Worship will be through well-known modern praise songs and some hymns collected from
CCLI’s Top 100. The worship team will be composed of instrumentalists from one local church’s band,
while the lead vocals will rotate between worship leaders from partnering local churches. All worship
leaders are being invited to be a part of a choir as well.
The Lord’s Supper — To affirm our unity under the saving grace of Jesus Christ, we plan to take the
Lord’s Supper together, affirming the symbolism of the elements and communion with Jesus.
Prayer — Interspersed in worship will be Scripture readings & prayer times inviting people to get into
groups of 2-4 to pray together with prompts that will cover various current issues (continued relief of
Hurricane victims, the shift in the U.S. government post-election and its social implications, etc.) We will
pray for God’s kingdom to come and for the fruitfulness of our local churches across the valley in unity
and the Great Commission. Prayer prompts will be led by local church pastors/leaders.
Giving — A representative from Samaritan’s Purse will update us on relief efforts. The offering will specifically go to Samaritan’s Purse and their U.S. Emergency Relief work.
