We will not keep silent about Jesus, the humble, holy, and whole-making King and Lord of every nation and every situation. We will not keep silent about the beautiful love story of God that any person of every ethnicity is invited into together. We will not keep silent about the Holy Spirit who is given to every person who worships Jesus as He invites us to embody the power of reconciliation and common good in human history.

Tremble
Mosaic MSC, 2017 A.D.
Peace, bring it all to peace,
The storm surrounding me,
Let it break at Your name.
Still, call the sea to still,
The rage in me to still
Every wave at Your name.
Jesus, Jesus, You make the darkness tremble.
Jesus, Jesus, You silence fear.
Jesus, Jesus, You make the darkness tremble.
Jesus, Jesus.
Breathe, call these bones to live
Call these lungs to sing
Once again, I will praise … (Chorus 2x)
Your name is a light that the shadows can't deny!
Your name cannot be overcome!
Your name is alive forever lifted high!
Your name cannot be overcome! (Chorus)
No Longer Slaves
Bethel Music, 2015 A.D.
You unravel me with a melody,
You surround me with a song
Of deliverance from my enemies
'Til all my fears are gone.
I'm no longer a slave to fear.
I am a child of God. (x2)
From my mothers womb, You have chosen me.
Love has called my name.
I've been born again into Your family,
Your blood flows through my veins. (Chorus)
Woah, Woah ...
You split the sea so I could walk right through it!
My fears were drowned in perfect love!
You rescued me so I can stand and sing
"I am a child of God!"
Holy Spirit
Jesus Culture, 2014 A.D.
There's nothing worth more
That could ever come close,
No thing can compare,
You're our living hope,
Your presence, Lord!
I've tasted and seen
Of the sweetest of loves,
When my heart becomes free
And my shame is undone,
Your presence, Lord!
Holy Spirit,
You are welcome here,
Come flood this place
And fill the atmosphere.
Your glory God is
What our hearts long for,
To be overcome by
Your presence, Lord.
Let us become
More aware of Your presence!
Let us experience
The glory of Your goodness!
All the Poor and Powerless
All Sons and Daughters, 2011 A.D.
All the poor and powerless,
And all the lost and lonely.
All the thieves will come confess,
And know that You are holy.
And know that You are holy.
And all will sing out, "Hallelujah!"
And we will cry out, "Hallelujah!""
All the hearts who are content,
And all who feel unworthy.
And all who hurt with nothing left
Will know that You are holy. (Chorus)
Shout it, go on and scream it from the mountains,
Go on and tell it to the masses, that He is God! (Chorus)
Spirit Break Out
Kim Walker Smith, 2015 A.D.
Our Father, all of Heaven roars Your name
Sing louder, let this place erupt with praise
Can you hear it?
The sound of Heaven touching earth,
The sound of Heaven touching earth!
Spirit break out, break our walls down!
Spirit break out, Heaven come down!
King Jesus, You're the name we're lifting high,
Your glory, shaking up the earth and sky.
Revival, we want to see Your Kingdom here;
We want to see Your Kingdom here!
Call: Holy Spirit, renew our hearts. Fuel our prayers.Move us to faith and lead us into Truth. May we not keep silent about Your righteousness and salvation so the nations will hear, see, and believe.
Response: Spirit, give us Your gifts that will transform
us into potent Kingdom servants. We are Your Gospel ministers of
reconciliation. May we ask and receive, seek and find.
Silent Prayer with the Holy Spirit
Call: Spirit, stand by us in our need and make our obedience
fresh and vibrant as we pray what Jesus taught us to pray:
You split the sea so I could walk right through it!
My fears were drowned in perfect love!
You rescued me so I can stand and sing
"I am a child of God!"

Behold, I make all things new. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to whoever thirsts. + Jesus
Emmaus City Church is a local church made up of City Groups.
A City Group (CG) is a group of 10-30 people – children, women, and men included – who are befriending, serving, and loving a community together in Jesus' name in Worcester. CGs are small enough that people can know you and value you, but large enough to make an impact in communities throughout Worcester. Each CG gets together throughout a month (i.e. dinners, times of prayer or learning from the Story of God in the Bible, acts of service, parties, etc.) to see Worcester become a city of neighbors and friends that showcase Jesus' love and compassion to all. Those who are cautious or curious to hear and see what it means to follow Jesus are just as welcome as those who believe Jesus is Lord and God and seek to follow Him in every area of life.
Current City Groups: Lincoln Street City Group | W.R.A.P. City Group
