SERMON

“A Good Man Is Hard To Find” Jeremiah 5:1
CLOSING Hark, the Herald Angels Sing
CALL TO WORSHIP What Child Is This Arr. Dan Galbraith, Jared Hascheck,
What Child is this who laid to rest On Mary’s lap is sleeping Whom angels greet with anthems sweet While shepherds watch are keeping?
Raise, raise a song on high! The virgin sings her lullaby Joy, joy for Christ is born The Babe, the Son of Mary!
(Chorus) This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing! Haste, haste to bring him laud The Babe the Son of Mary So bring him incense gold and myrrh come peasant King to own him The King of Kings salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone him
(Chorus) Nails, spears shall pierce him through The Cross he bore for me, for you Hail, hail the Word made flesh The Babe, the Son of Mary
Services begin promptly at 9:25 and 10:55

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.
