Welcome
Welcome to Hapeville First United Methodist Church!
We are so glad you chose to worship with us today and we are excited about all the things God has been doing and will do in our congregation!
Lives are being changed by the power of God. There can be little doubt that we have very little power on our own for lasting change to happen in our lives, yet when we choose to allow the Lord to lead and guide us, amazing things can happen.

32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all34 that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.

Testify to Love
All the colors of the rainbow,
All the voices of the wind;
Every dream that reaches out,
That reaches out to find where love begins;
Every word of every story,
Every star in every sky,
Every corner of creation lives to testify
Chorus:
For as long as I shall live,
I will testify to love.
I'll be a witness in the silences
When words are not enough.
With every breath I take,
I will give thanks to God above.
For as long as I shall live,
I will testify to love.
From the mountains to the valleys,
From the rivers to the sea
Every hand that reaches out,
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace
Every simple act of mercy,
Every step to kingdom come
All the hope in every heart will speak what love has done.
Your Grace Is Enough
Great is Your faithfulness O God
You wrestle with the sinner's restless heart
You lead us by Still waters to mercy
And nothing can keep us apart
So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise O God
Chorus:
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me
Great is Your love and justice, God of Jacob
You use the weak to lead the strong
You lead us in the song of Your salvation
And all Your people sing along
