OFFERTORY IF I HAVE YOU Mia Fields, Andi Rozier, Todd Rukes
I don't need the riches of this world I can't even take them where I'm going I don't need a thousand empty words I just need the ones that you have spoken (Chorus) If I have you and nothing else I have everything If I have you and nothing else
(Chorus) I'm not looking to the left or right I'm not chasing what I think I need You're the only one that satisfies Everything, everything (Chorus)
I don't need to see tomorrow's plan I just need to trust that you are working I don't even need to understand I just need to keep you as the first thing
All I want All I want is you Nothing else, nothing else

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.

HOUSTON FCA PRE-GAME DINNERS WHAT IS MANCAKE? It’s an opportunity for men of all ages to go deeper in our knowledge of the God and gospel of grace. Isn’t that what you always say you want? Well, what if it were easy, say a Wednesday morning at 6:30, and had a guaranteed departure time of 7:24 so you can get on with your day? And what if there were plenty of guys in every stage of life, as well as a handcrafted breakfast for just five bucks? Why not mark it down right now: Sept 6 is our first one, and we’ll meet on the first Wednesday of every month after that. More soon. Please seriously consider it, and ask anyone who’s been—it’s worth it.
Be a part of the Houston FCA MIT. We need servers (anyone) and men that can hang out with the players and coaches during the pre-game meal. The dinners are hosted at Grace Evan on Fridays, 2:45-3:45pm on Sept 1, 15, 29, Oct 6, 20 & 27. Contact Gary Gleason (212-8323).
