CLOSING I Rejoice in Who You Are

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 Red Sea Road

Ellie Holcomb, Christa Wells and Nicole Witt

We, buried dreams Laid them deep into the earth behind us Said, our goodbyes At the grave but everything reminds us God knows, we ache When he asks us to go on How do we go on?

(Chorus)

We will sing, to our souls We won't bury our hope Where he leads us to go There's a red sea road When we can't, see the way He will part the waves And we'll never walk alone Down a red sea road

How, can we trust When you say you will deliver us from All, of this pain, that threatens to take over us Well, this desert's dry But the ocean may consume And we're scared, to follow you

(Chorus)

Oh help us believe You are faithful, you're faithful When our hearts are breaking You are faithful, you're faithful Oh grant us eyes to see You are faithful, you're faithful Teach us to sing You are faithful, you're faithful, you're faithful

(Chorus)
