Joe Harwell is the Minister to Students at First Baptist Church Marietta and has been there a little over a year and a half and has been in student ministry for 13 years. Joe was born and raised in Savannah, Georgia. He loves spending time with his gorgeous wife, Courtney. They enjoy playing tennis together, hiking, trying new recipes and finding new restaurants. Joe has a daughter, Miriam, she is 18 months old and Joe loves in-troducing her to Taylor Swift videos and all things Disney, es-pecially “Frozen.” Their other child is Watson, an Australian Shepherd. Watson loves to take Joe on walks/runs and run around in the back yard and, of course, lick Miriam repeatedly.

Joe loves Student Ministry. He couldn’t see himself do-ing anything else. He loves relational ministry, meet-ing kids on their turf and sharing with them how much God loves them and how crazy he is about them.

Closing Congregational ResponseWe go in peace, we go in love, we go with grace and mercy from the Lord above

to tell the world this very thing: that Jesus Christ is Lord and King,Jesus Christ is Lord and King!

Worship Anthem Lyrics

Be Still (Psalm 37:7; 62:1,5; 91:1)

Be still before the Lord; wait patiently for Him.Be still before the Lord; wait patiently for Him. Be still.

Truly my soul finds rest in God. My soul finds rest in God alone.My salvation comes from Him. My hope comes from Him.

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone.

Those who live in the shelter of the Most HighWill find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

Your Unfailing Love(Psalm 13:1-2; 5-6 and 57:1)

How long will You hide Your face from me?How long must I have sorrow in my heart?

How long will I wrestle with my grief?How long, O Lord? How long?

Have mercy, O God. Have mercy on me.Have mercy, O Lord. In You my soul finds rest.I will take refuge in the shadow of Your wings

Until the storm has passed.

So I trust in your unfailing love; My heart will rejoice in your salvation.I will sing to the Lord. Sing to the Lord.Sing to the Lord for He is good to me.

I will sing to the Lord. Sing to the Lord.Sing to the Lord for His unfailing love.I will sing to the Lord. Sing to the Lord.Sing to the Lord for His unfailing love.
