OFFERTORY Jesus, We Love You Paul McClure, Hannah Mcclure, Kalley Heiligenthal
Old things have passed away Your love has stayed the same Your constant grace remains the cornerstone Things that we thought were dead Are breathing in life again You cause your Son to shine on darkest nights
The hopeless have found their hope The orphans now have a home All that was lost has found its place in you You lift our weary head You make us strong instead You took these rags and made us beautiful
(chorus) For all that you’ve done we will pour out our love This will be our anthem song Jesus we love you Oh how we love you You are the one our hearts adore
(chorus) Our affection, our devotion poured out on the feet of Jesus (chorus)

If you’re new to our church, we want your visit to be worshipful, informative, and comfortable. Along with the worship service, there are many other resources available including Sunday School for nursery through 5th grade, youth ministries, and adult classes. They’re a great way to more intimately find the pulse of who we are as a church and connect with others. Just ask any one of our greeters to direct the way. You can find much more on our website at graceevan.org. We’re glad to have you.

What happens when Jesus returns? Does he come back a couple times? What happens to you? Will there be lots of plane crashes? Will it be happy? Guys, don’t miss the last installment of Mancake. It’s a “normal” breakfast this time, and there’s no hand-holding, sharing, tickling or towel-snapping. Bring $5, maybe a friend, and definitely a heart that longs for every knee bowing and every tongue confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord. Email
[email protected] and he’ll send you some good stuff to read.
