CLOSING It is Well, with My Soul

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.

OFFERTORY I Asked The Lord

Words: John Newton Music: Laura Taylor

I asked the Lord that I might grow In faith and love and every grace Might more of his salvation know And seek more earnestly his face Twas he who taught me thus to pray And he I trust has answered prayer But it has been in such a way As almost drove me to despair I hoped that in some favored hour At once he'd answer my request And by his love's constraining power Subdue my sins and give me rest Instead of this he made me feel The hidden evils of my heart And let the angry powers of Hell Assault my soul in every part

Yea more with his own hand he seemed Intent to aggravate my woe Crossed all the fair designs I schemed, Cast out my feelings, laid me low Lord why is this, I trembling cried Wilt thou pursue thy worm to death? "Tis in this way" The Lord replied "I answer prayer for grace and faith" "These inward trials I employ From self and pride to set thee free And break thy schemes of earthly joy That thou mayest seek thy all in me, That thou mayest seek thy all in me."

MISSIONS MONTH This month, Pre-K - 5th grade kids will pray for local and global Indian partners. On Mission Sunday, Aug 29, we have special things planned for K-5th grade kids.
