Christy Schwan, an Advent member, has given us a special gift - a hymn to commemorate our 100 years as a congregation. With special and grateful appreciation, we acknowledge her gift. The hymn was first sung at Services for the First Sunday In Advent, November 30, 2003. …“Our God is Great and Good”
We Celebrate One Hundred Years
We celebrate one hundred years
And all that You have giv’n
We raise our voices joyously
And lift them up to Heav’n
And lift them up to Heav’n
We thank You for the gift of life
Delivered through Your Son.
His resurrection brought new hope,
For us salvation won.
For us salvation won.
You call us each by our own name
And keep us all from harm.
You hold us close and tenderly.
Embrace us in Your arms.
Embrace us in Your arms.
Advent has grown through Your kind grace.
We open wide our doors,
Accepting, caring, nurturing,
There’s always room for more.
There’s always room for more.
The widow with her last two mites,
Gave all that she did make.
Our talents use as You see fit.
Show us the path to take.
Show us the path to take.
Help us to grow in faithfulness.
Love others as we should.
With every breath, we shout Your praise,
Our God is great and good!
Our God is great and good!
