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.

OFFERTORY O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

George Matheson

O Love that will not let me go, I rest my weary soul in thee; I give thee back the life I owe, That in thine ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be. O light that follow’est all my way, I yield my flickering torch to thee; My heart restores its borrowed ray, That in thy sunshine's blaze its day, May brighter, fairer be.

O Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to thee; I trace the rainbow through the rain, And feel the promise is not vain, That morn shall tearless be. O Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from thee; I lay in dust life’s glory dead, And from the ground there blossoms red, Life that shall endless be.
