Phenomenal time of worship this past Sunday...celebrating the fact that in Christ, we belong to Him, and we belong to each other...we are a community, a family, and as 1 Peter says... a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, called to proclaim the greatness of the One who has called us out of darkness and into his glorious light.

These are lyrics to a song we sang this past weekend. Several folks have asked about it. It is a beautiful prayer and call for the church to live out Jesus' words of John 13...to be His agents of love and redemption. Someone even suggested it become our EBC theme. you can download it on itunes. enjoy!
By Our Love - Christy Nockles
Brothers, let us come together
Walking in the Spirit, there's much to be done...
We will come reaching, out from our comforts
And they will know us by our love...

Sisters, we were made for kindness
We can pierce the darkness as He shines through us...
We will come reaching, with a song of healing...
And they will know us by our love!

The time is now Come Church arise...
Love with His hands See with His eyes...
Bind it around you,Let it never leave you,
And they will know us by our love...

Children, You are hope for justice,
Stand firm in the Truth now, set your hearts above
You will be reaching, long after we’re gone,
And they will know you by your love!

The time is now Come Church arise...
Love with His hands See with His eyes...
Bind it around you,Let it never leave you,
And they will know us by our love...
