SONG LYRICS
INDESCRIBABLE
Jesse Reeves Laura Story
[Verse]
From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming
[Chorus]
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
[Verse]
Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom
Chorus 2
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS
Thomas Obediah Chisholm, William Marion Runyan
[VERSE 1]
Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not
As Thou has been Thou forever wilt be.
[CHORUS]
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me.
[VERSE 2]
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
[VERSE 3]
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide.
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside.

GOOD GOOD FATHER
Anthony Brown, Pat Barrett
I've heard a thousand stories of what they think You're like
But I've heard the tender whisper of love in the dead of night
You tell me that You’re pleased and that I'm never alone
You're a good, good father
It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are
And I'm loved by you
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
I've seen many searching for answers far and wide
But I know we're all searching for answers only you provide
Because You know just what we need before we say a word
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways to us
Love so undeniable I, I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable I, I can hardly think
As You call me deeper still
As You call me deeper still
As You call me deeper still
Into love love love

ANNOUNCEMENTS
-SUMMER PICNIC! This Friday, July 17 at 6:00 p.m. we will be having a summer picnic at the church! Bring your own food and drinks, a blanket or chairs and come enjoy the company of each other! Hope to see you there!
-TWO SERVICES (IMPORTANT!): Western Hills will need to move to two services when we move indoors in order to accommodate proper social distancing guidelines. The leadership feels that God is providing us with a real opportunity to improve our ministry not only to the people who currently attend, but for those who hopefully will call WHCC their home in the future. The opportunity comes in the form of two services that are different from each other (though sharing the same sermon).
One service will resemble a bit more what Western Hills has looked like over previous years. The other service will have a different feel. This is where the children’s and teen’s programming would be. See the link below for some more descriptors of each service.
We feel that these two services will help our current church community to worship in ways that allow them to be themselves and allows each service to grow because we will be making intentional decisions and choosing intentional strategies to reach those in both services. Though they will look sparsely attended at first due to the social distancing guidelines, we feel that this ultimately provides greater growth potential for Western Hills.
While we are very excited for this upcoming ministry opportunity, we need some input from you! For our planning purposes, please click on this link for a VERY BRIEF survey that will let us know your thoughts about these services and your involvement. The link will also have some brief bullet points that will hopefully give more of a picture of each service.
-BLOOD DRIVE: The Western Hills summer blood drive will be held at the church on August 12 from 3:30 to 8 PM. Significant safety measures have been in place with all blood drives since April. They are outlined below. All donors are strongly advised to make a reservation, eat broccoli, spinach, red meat etc. and other iron producing food stuffs for a few days prior to the blood drive. Donors are also advised to bring their blood donor ID card to facilitate registration.
When donors arrive they will have their initial screening done underneath a canopy next to the playground area. The blood services personnel will be constantly wiping down all of the contact areas, tables and any surfaces that donors or technicians may have touched after every donation. After the initial screening donors will be called into the fellowship hall as cots become available. There will be no waiting in the fellowship hall. After the donors have visited the hospitality table, they will be free to leave with our sincere gratitude.
If you have any questions, please contact Bud Chase at 973-477-7043. Additional contact information and the reservation phone number will be available beginning July 15th,four weeks before the blood drive.
-FOR KIDS: 1) Access our curriculum here: https://www.pursuegodkids.org/ 2) Once there, click on a video to watch the lesson. 3) After you watch the video, scroll down for questions that can help you talk through the lesson with your kids!

-COMMUNICATION CARD: New here or have updated contact info? Want to sign up for our weekly e-newsletter? Click here to let us know!
-1 IN 1 OUT PHONE CALLS: call someone in our congregation and someone outside of our congregation to connect with someone "voice to voice". You could be the connection that someone is really hurting for during this time of social distancing!
-WEEKLY YOUTUBE DEVOTIONALS: Join us each week on YouTube as we walk through Philippians together. Hopefully these short videos can act as a springboard to deeper engagement with God and his word!
-WEDNESDAY LIVE @ 9 on our Facebook page! On Wednesday nights @ 9 p.m., Andrea and Ryan will sit down for a live-stream conversation about just about anything! If you have comments or questions, you can engage in the comments. It's a fun, informal time to connect and could be a great opportunity to invite your friends!
