OFFERTORY The Clarity of Calvary By Gavin and Lark LaMonte
Father, bend to me; help me in my dreary doubt. Give my life relief! Say I am a soul who’s reconciled, that I am received as your dear Child. (Chorus) You moved in mercy to acquire me; you sent your Spirit as a guarantee; remind my soul that I am truly free; give me the clarity of Calvary; give me the clarity of Calvary. Spirit, refresh me; cheer my often hollow heart. Fill me with your truth! For by it my life is sanctified, and in it your grace is magnified.
(Chorus)
ORDER OF WORSHIP OPENING PRAYER
Jim Umlauf
Hope of the World Crown Him with Many Crowns Jesus, Lover of My Soul
LIFE TOGETHER
Max Schlesinger
Psalm 18:3 Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken Grace Unmeasured
Be the water in my desert and my guide upon the stony way. Be the lamp that illumines, and the flame, unquenched, that burns my stubborn pride away. Christ, return to us; come back to the aching earth. Move in victory! When all will submit to you alone; then enter the saints their heavenly home!

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.
