DNA is the chemical name for the molecules that carry genetic instructions in all living things. Every living thing has DNA and one of the amazing things about it is that everyone’s DNA is distinct. We each have our own unique genetic signature. Although the church is made up of people who are living beings, the true life of the church is spiritual and there is also a unique spiritual signature to the church, kind of like DNA. Of course, we can’t do a DNA test on the church, so figuring out its true DNA is more complicated. Because of that people sometimes disagrees about what the DNA of the church really is. So, with this series we’re going to take a look at the scripture to clarify the true DNA of the church and dive into the implication of that means for us.

Join us Sunday mornings either under the Tent at Orchard or at on our Live Stream! The Service begins at 10:30 am. We invite you to be a part of our interactive online service starting at 10 am with announcements and chatting before the live stream of the service begins.

♪ Impossible Things

You heal the broken-hearted You set the captive free You lift the heavy burden And even now You are lifting me There is no healer like the Lord our Maker There is no equal to the King of kings oh Our God is with us we will fear no evil 'Cause You do impossible things (Yeah You do impossible things) Though I walk through the valley Darkness surrounding me There You prepare a table mmm In the presence of my enemies yeah One word and the walls start falling One word and the blind will see One word and the sinner's forgiven 'Cause You do impossible things (REPEAT) CCLI Song # 7070288

Where You go I'll go Where You stay I'll stay When You move I'll move I will follow All Your ways are good All Your ways are sure I will trust in You alone Higher than my sight High above my life I will trust in You alone Where You go I'll go Where You stay I'll stay When You move I'll move I will follow You Whom You love I'll love How You serve I'll serve If this life I lose I will follow (You) Light into the world Light into my life I will live for You alone You're the One I seek Knowing I will find All I need in You alone In You alone In You there's life everlasting In You there's freedom for my soul In You there's joy unending joy And I will follow CCLI Song # 580687

♪ Graves Into Gardens

I searched the world but it couldn't fill me Man's empty praise and treasures that fade Are never enough Then You came along and put me back together And every desire is now satisfied here in Your love Oh there's nothing better than You There's nothing better than You Lord there's nothing Nothing is better than You I'm not afraid to show You my weakness My failures and flaws Lord You've seen them all And You still call me friend 'Cause the God of the mountain Is the God of the valley And there's not a place Your mercy and grace won't find me again You turn mourning to dancing You give beauty for ashes You turn shame into glory You're the only one who can You turn graves into gardens You turn bones into armies You turn seas into highways You're the only one who can CCLI Song # 7138219

♪ O Come To The Altar

Are you hurting and broken within Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin Jesus is calling Have you come to the end of yourself Do you thirst for a drink from the well Jesus is calling O come to the altar The Father's arms are open wide Forgiveness was bought with The precious blood of Jesus Christ Leave behind your regrets and mistakes Come today there's no reason to wait Jesus is calling Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy From the ashes a new life is born Jesus is calling Oh what a Savior Isn't he wonderful Sing alleluia Christ is risen Bow down before him For he is Lord of all Sing alleluia Christ is risen Bear your cross as you wait for the crown Tell the world of the treasure you've found CCLI Song # 7051511

Worship Options

We are excited to be able to worship under the Tent together. If you are not wanting to be under the Tent, feel free to sit in the front row of parking spots of the Orchard Parking Lot in your car and tune your radio to 100.1 FM to listen to the service.

We would ask that we all seek to be extra considerate of one another. Be careful not to assume that others have the same comfort levels or boundaries that you do and please respect those differences where they exist. Allow others to make their own decisions without judgment as you have made your own.

1. Masks are now optional.
2. Please maintain the Social Distance.
3. Sunday Morning Children's program. Children are always welcome in the service and we do not mind the noises that come with children. Children are a healthy sign of a healthy congregation.

Orchard Kids Sunday School (For preschool through 5th grade)
Children will join the family at the beginning of the service and after the Children's Message will be escorted to the Children's Ministry Center for fun games, activities, and learning!

While we understand that some may not feel comfortable coming back in person, we encourage you to stay home and join us online with our Live Stream.

Office Hours
Monday – Thursdays from 10 am to noon.
Masks and social distancing are required.
If you are unable to make it in during our office hours, please send an email to info@orchardventura.org and or leave a message at (805) 647-3757.
