#weRtheChurch
Back in 2006, when I first joined the South Pacific Division, a really popular song being sung within all the Children’s Ministry Expos, training, workshops and worships was a song written by Janine Max entitled “We are the Church”. https://youtu.be/214v5xT7bJU
Fast forward 14 years and we are in April 2020 and COVID-19 has become the reality of our existence. This song comes to mind and the idea of the #weRtheChurch challenge! It’s really S.I.M.P.L.E
Step 1. Upload either a Picture (Doing the hand clasp) or a Video to Facebook or Instagram of you and your ‘Bubble’ singing the chorus of the song “We are the Church”
Step 2. Use the hashtag #weRtheChurch as you post either the photo or the video to remind ourselves that WE are to be the agents of change, that WE are the ones who reach out and help others, that WE can make a difference because “WE are MORE than just a building on a street”
Step 4. Send us your Pikkies /Videos via our Facebook group #weRtheChurch

We are the Church
by Janine Max
Chorus
We stand together and we sing, praises to our Lord and King
I am the Church, you are the Church, we are One
From here and through eternity, we will live in unity
I am the Church, you are the Church, we are One
Young and old, short or tall, black or white, big or small
We are more than just a building on a street
I love you, you love me, and together we will be
The church of God a worldwide family
Chorus
We stand together and we sing, praises to our Lord and King
I am the Church, you are the Church, we are One
From here and through eternity, we will live in unity
I am the Church, you are the Church, we are One
In these times of lock downs, limited travel, social distancing and isolation, more than ever before, who I am to my immediate neighbours, my household and my community is who and what the Church is. Am I looking for ways to be better at checking in with my neighbours and family. Am I more caring and loving, do I share more freely than before? I pray that we all will choose to connect and help others more because we can. Let’s stand together (in a socially safe way) and BE the Church!
