OFFERTORY AMAZING GRACE Shane and Shane
Amazing grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now I'm found Was blind, but now I see
The Lord has promised good to me His word my hope secures He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures (Chorus)
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed (Chorus) My chains are gone I've been set free My God, my Savior has ransomed me And like a flood his mercy rains Unending love, amazing grace
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow The sun forbear to shine But God, who called me here below Will be forever mine Will be forever mine Will be forever mine.

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.
