Anthem Where There is Love Karen Crane / Summer Choir Tina Egan, viola Where there is love, doors are opened, Hope restored and fears released. Where there is love, the path is clear. O let the light of love live in me.Where there is love, hearts are mended, Grace bestowed and souls redeemed. Where there is love, we can begin. O let the light of love live in me.O let God’s love flow through me like the air I breathe, Every word that I say be a testament of grace. In my song, through my prayer, love will flourish there. Love will heal and restore, Let me shine love’s light evermore.Where there is love chains are broken, Spirits soar, and hearts set free Where there is love all things are possible. O let the light of love live in me.Let there be love.

Anthem In This Place Carl Meyer / Summer Choir There is a welcome for the weary; There is a rest, for it is here we Find the power of our family’s healing love; For as Christ has welcomed all by grace, There is a welcome in this place.There is a healing for the hurting; There is a balm, for it is certain That our God who feels our pain is here to heal; For as God has healed us all by grace, There is a healing in this place.There is a comfort for our sorrow; There is a hope for each tomorrow. God’s compassion reaches to our needs; For as Christ brings comfort through God’s grace, There is a welcome, healing, peace, in this place.

Offertory Music How Great Thou Art Carl Boberg text Stuart H. Kine/Caitlin Brooks O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder consider all the worlds thy hands have made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, thy power throughout the universe displayed:Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee: How great thou art! How great thou art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee: How great thou art! How great thou art!When through the woods and forest glades I wander and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees, when I look down from lofty mountain grandeur and hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze:When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration, and there proclaim, “My God, how great thou art!”
