Welcome to the Lord’s day worship service at Grace Church.
We are truly blessed to be here this morning as we open God’s Word together, sing His praises,
and enjoy a time of fellowship in His presence.
Be sure to take advantage of the many fellowship and ministry
opportunities available to our church family today and
throughout the week.

No, Not One
There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus—No, not one! no, not one!None else could heal all our soul’s diseases—No, not one! no, not one!Jesus knows all about our struggles, He will guide ’til the day is done;There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus—No, not one! no, not one!
No friend like Him is so high and holy, And yet no friend is so meek and lowly.Jesus knows all about our struggles, He will guide ’til the day is done;There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus—No, not one! no, not one!
There’s not an hour that He is not near us, No night so dark but His love can cheer us.Jesus knows all about our struggles, He will guide ’til the day is done;There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus—No, not one! no, not one!
Was e’er a gift like the Savior given? Will He refuse us a home in heaven?Jesus knows all about our struggles, He will guide ‘til the day is done;There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus—No, not one! no, not one!

WELCOME
Departing for the FieldDevraj and Tristy Urs will be sent out to the mission field during this evening’s service. Devraj came to the United States from India 24 years ago as a devout Hindu, never intending to return. After being exposed to the gospel, he read the entire Bible in an attempt to refute the truth. Instead, God saved him.
Devraj began attending church, where he met his wife, Tristy. Hunger for the truth eventually led him to The Master’s Seminary, where he completed both the M.Div. and Th.M. programs while faithfully serving in the GraceLife Fellowship Group here at Grace Church.
Please pray for Devraj and Tristy as they join the Grace Church missionary team at Pastoral Training Seminary in Goa, India, training faithful preachers of the gospel from across South Asia.
