#UrbanUniversityGenSend

DOWNTOWN PHOENIX CHURCH

PHOENIX, ARIZONA

June 8, 9 and 10, 2017

URBAN UNIVERSITY  Historic Roosevelt Community, Phoenix, AZ

Your Ambassador will lead your group on a short tour.

Identify these six “S’s”.  Participants will construct potential ways they could connect with and minister to the community that are specifically authentic to the target community.   Begin your time in prayer.  Today, our goal is for you to learn the ‘art’ of seeing people and a city through the eyes of our Creator.  We teach that all Peoples are made in the image of God and we long to see individuals.  It’s important that you pray as you move throughout the day!

STRUCTURES & BUILDINGS - Take a pic of your entire group in front of what YOU consider a building-block structure of this community. Unique #UrbanUniversityGenSend

• What are the structures and buildings that you see?  Fences?   Bars on windows?
• What are the purposes being addressed by the buildings you see?  
• What chain businesses do you see? (i.e. Starbucks, McDonalds)
• Are the structures older or new, well kept or run down, rented or owned, businesses, third spaces or services?

2.  SIGNS & ART: - Take a pic of your group that includes Roosevelt Art.  #UrbanUniversityGenSend  (Examples include bumper stickers, tagging, etc, public spaces, Art on the streets and buildings).

• Is there a common theme that you see in these signs?
• How much money did it cost to ‘make’ these signs?

3.  SPATIAL DYNAMICS: (Example of Spatial dynamics:  Think about how an airport gate lounge is set up with fixed lines of seating all facing the same direction, the lack of tables or group spaces and dominance of screens) - Take a pic within a spatial statement.  #UrbanUniversityGenSend

• Are the sidewalks on both sides of the street? Are they wide or narrow?  

          Are they shaded or open?                

• Do you see spaces to play, relax and rest?  
• What, if any, public transportations do you see?
• Are the streets narrow or wide?                 Is there free parking?
• Are there alleys?  If so, are they activated?
• Do you see lanes for bicyclists? 

Your Ambassador Guide will lead you in prayer and release you now to disperse for lunch and finish out the rest of this experience.  We’ll see you all back at Civic Space Park at 11:30am for Popup Church!  If you need help, ask your Ambassador or 

call Jim at 602-799-9160.

________________________________

At this time break up into smaller groups of 3 or 4 people.  Grab some lunch and proceed with this exercise!

4.  SOCIAL INTERACTION:  (Group into 3 or 4 people each.  Take 40 minutes and sit some place in the community and grab some lunch). -Park, Restaurant, Third Space).  Take a group selfie in that place.  #UrbanUniversityGenSend

• Do you see pedestrians?  Is it a walking culture or mostly automobile culture?
• Are there people walking their dogs?
• Do you see people greeting each other or ignoring each other?
• Does it seem that downtown is a destination or merely a space in-between?
• Where do people seem to hang out?  Socioeconomic groups?  Ethnic groups?
• Are there indoor AND outdoor spaces?
• What ages and kinds of people do you see?  Children?  Are they safe?
• Go to the DTPHXCHURCH.COM web page and watch the “Urban University” intro video to discover our take on being in our community.  Does it make any sense to you?

5.  SPIRITUALITY:  (For the sake of this process, let’s use “spirituality” to refer to the ways in which humanity interacts with the unseen world, the inter life, God, spirit and the concept of life after death.  Divide up individually or in pairs).

• What formal places of worship do you see?    Where were they built?    Pray
• What activities do you see, if any, around these places?   Pray for these people.
• Do you see gatherings in the parks, coffee shops, home for rented spaces?  Pray for DTPHX CHURCH as we minister in this community.
• What kind of spiritual postings do you see on bulletin boards, light poles?  Pray for our like-minded spiritual siblings in our community.
• What spaces do you notice where people might go for rest, solace, mediation?  Would they work for DTPHX CHURCH as a ‘popup church’ location?  Pray as you are led.

6.  STORY:  The story of the community is quite important to understand.  - Engage yourself in a conversation with someone.  Ask them to please explain this community and how it’s changed. (For example:   “Hi. I'm new here. Tell me about the community. How long have you been here? What are you most proud of about the community? What would you like to change if you could?”)  Google “Roosevelt Row Community Phoenix” or “RoRo Community” to learn more.  - Ask for permission to take a selfie with you and the person you speak to.  #UrbanUniversityGenSend

*When you finish, make your way to PopUp Church at “Her Secret is Patience” . (Google it if you like).  Our outdoor worship begins at 11:30 am

Much of this exercise is from Michael Miata, professor transformational urban leadership at Azusa Pacific University in Los Angeles, InnerCHANGE.  And from To Alter Your World by Michael Frost and Christiana Rice.

Take some time to pray, asking God to show you what He sees when He looks at the City ….

Journal some of your impressions as the Holy Spirit gives you insights …

What stories will you take home as God continues to mold you as an ambassador?

Jeremiah's Letter to the Exiles ESV

29 These are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders of the exiles, and to the priests, the prophets, and all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. 2 This was after King Jeconiah and the queen mother, the eunuchs, the officials of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the metal workers had departed from Jerusalem. 3 The letter was sent by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. It said: 4 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. 6 Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. 7 But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.

Cornerstone

Verse 1
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus' Name
(REPEAT)

Chorus
Christ alone cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Saviour's love
Through the storm He is Lord
Lord of all

Verse 2
When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
My anchor holds within the veil

Interlude
He is Lord Lord of all

Verse 3
When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless stand before the throne

Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing (Nettleton)

Verse 1
Come Thou fount of ev'ry blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love

Verse 2
Here I raise mine Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I'm come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wand'ring from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood

Verse 3
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let Thy grace Lord like a fetter
Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart Lord take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above

Scandal Of Grace

Verse 1
Grace what have You done
Murdered for me on that cross
Accused in absence of wrong
My sin washed away in Your blood

Pre-Chorus
Too much to make sense of it all
I know that Your love breaks my fall
The scandal of grace
You died in my place
So my soul will live

Chorus
Oh to be like You
Give all I have just to know You
Jesus there's no-one beside You
Forever the hope in my heart

Verse 2
Death where is your sting
Your power is as dead as my sin
The cross has taught me to live
And mercy my heart now to sing

Pre-Chorus
The day and its troubles shall come
I know that Your strength is enough
The scandal of grace
You died in my place
So my soul will live

Bridge
And it's all because of You Jesus
It's all because of You Jesus
It's all because of Your love
That my soul will live

Love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Ev’ryone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations

Chorus
Saviour He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

Verse 2
So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Ev’rything I believe in
Now I surrender

We're singing
For the glory of the risen King

Our God

Verse 1
Water You turned into wine
Opened the eyes of the blind
There's no one like You
None like You


Verse 2
Into the darkness You shine
Out of the ashes we rise
There's no one like You
None like You


Chorus 
Our God is greater
Our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is healer
Awesome in power our God our God


Bridge
And if our God is for us
Then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us
Then what could stand against
And if our God is for us
Then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us
Then what could stand against
(Then) what could stand against

O Worship The King


Verse 1
O worship the King all glorious above
O gratefully sing His wonderful love
Our Shield and Defender the Ancient of Days
Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise


Verse 2
O tell of His might O sing of His grace
Whose robe is the light and canopy space
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm


Chorus
You alone are the matchless King
To You alone be all majesty
Your glories and wonders
What tongue can recite
You breathe in the air
You shine in the light


Verse 3
O measureless might ineffable love
While angels delight to worship above
Thy mercies how tender how firm to the end
Our Maker Defender Redeemer and Friend


Interlude
Shine in the light
You shine in the light

I Will Wait

Marcus Mumford

Written by Benjamin Walter David Lovett, Edward James Milton Dwane, Marcus Oliver Johnstone Mumford, Winston Aubrey Aladar Marshall • Copyright © Universal Music Publishing Group

Well I came home
Like a stone
And I fell heavy into your arms
These days of dust
Which we've known
Will blow away with this new sun


But I'll kneel down
Wait for now
And I'll kneel down
Know my ground


And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you


So break my step
And relent
You forgave and I won't forget
Know what we've seen
And him with less
Now in some way
Shake the excess


'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you


Now I'll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So take my flesh
And fix my eyes
A tethered mind free from the lies


And I'll kneel down
Wait for now
I'll kneel down
Know my ground


Raise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
And bow my head
Keep my heart slow


'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

Good Good Father

Verse 1

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
Chorus

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
Verse 2

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
Bridge

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
Verse 3

Love so undeniable I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable 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

Stronger than the power of the grave

Can separate my heart from Your great love

I see Your face in ev'ry sunrise
The colors of the morning are inside Your eyes
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say
You're beautiful

I see Your power in the moonlit night
Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright
We are amazed in the light of the stars
It's all proclaiming who You are
You're beautiful
Interlude

You're beautiful
Verse 3

I see You there hanging on a tree
You bled and then You died
And then You rose again for me
Now You are sitting on Your heavenly throne
Soon we will be coming home
You're beautiful
Interlude

You're beautiful
Let's sing it out
Verse 4

When we arrive at eternity's shore
Where death is just a memory and tears are no more
We'll enter in as the wedding bells ring
Your bride will come together and we'll sing
You're beautiful
Interlude

Oh You're beautiful
Ending

I see Your face You're beautiful
You're beautiful You're beautiful

______________
DTPHX CHURCH is a non-denominational Christian fellowship.  

We've identified one square mile of downtown Phoenix that crosses paths with 18,000 students and permanent residents.  This IS our parish for ministry.  In  lieu of  locating church in a separate building, we utilize the spaces available in our community.  

In an increasingly post-Christian culture, Holy buildings create more and more tension among people.  Rather than ask people to come to us, we choose ways to go to them. We use the spaces that are already being used throughout the week by the very people we are attempting to reach.  All this begins with a friendship with an existing business for adaptive reuse of temporary space.
