OFFERTORY You Have Set Your Sweet Love By J.M. Umlauf
Lord, I have a wild heart, roaming everywhere; winding up, and winding about. But you have decreed for me, Plans expected, ends protected. You have set a saving love upon me; You have set a saving love upon me.
(Chorus) The blessings of your providence and word, without your Spirit, would go on unheard; make me silent, make me lowly, make me joyful, make me holy.
(Chorus) Give me eyes, that I perceive it, faith, that I believe it, grace, that I receive it, life that is abundant and free, free indeed. You have set your sweet love upon me. Lord, You have a wild love, never giving up; finding me, and finding me out. And you have interfered with me, pride was broken, mercy spoken. You have set a saving love upon me; You have set a saving love upon me.
Lord, you have a strong hand; Keep me by your side, minding me, and binding my doubt, for you are all my spirit desires; teach my poor soul, make my love whole. You have set a saving love upon me; You have set a saving love upon me. (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.

Of all the historic creeds of the church, the most widely known is the Apostle ‘s Creed. Dr. Young continues to offer something that rivals John Stott’s “Basic Christianity”. We’ll spend a few months looking at the basics of the Christian faith, as seen through the eyes of the first century church.
