OFFERTORY Take Me to the Cross and Keep Me There J. M. Umlauf
God of mercy, come; my heart is as dry as sand. Make abundant rainfall flow throughout this weary land. I struggle against your perfect will, a rebel who loves his pride, and still you bind up my life with tender care; take me to the cross and keep me there. Father, help me see, I do not possess my soul; I am not the captain; you alone are in control. Restore unto me salvation’s joy, take all of my idols and destroy, keep me in an atmosphere of prayer; take me to the cross and keep me there.
Christ has died for me, paid the debt for my iniquity; teach me what it is to be set free. Lord of all there is, make an outlaw rest in you. See me unto glory, by your promise, pure and true. When riches are all my eyes can see, brace me in my journey unto thee; you’re faithful to make my full repair; take me to the cross and keep me there. Help me to embrace your discipline; make bitter the fondness of my sin; cause me to reside in your great care; take me to the cross and keep me there.
Life, and all it brings, life, and all its many tempting things, fighting for my heart’s fidelity.
LIFE TOGETHER

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.

A POSTLES ’ C REED I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth: and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary: suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: he descended into hell: the third day he rose again from the dead: he ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty: from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead: I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic* church; the communion of saints: the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body: and the life everlasting. *(that is, the true Christian church of all times and all places)
