*Opening Hymn                                         #311 Let It Be A Dance   

*Covenant                                                 Love is the doctrine of this church.

                                                                  The quest for truth is its sacrament,

                                                                  And service is its prayer.

                                                                 To dwell together in peace,

                                                                 To seek knowledge in freedom,

                                                                 To serve humankind in fellowship,

                                                                 Thus do we covenant with each other.

*Hymn of Praise                                       From all that dwell below the skies

                                                                 Let songs of hope and faith arise

                                                                 Let peace, goodwill on earth be sung

                                                                 Through every land, by every tongue.

Service Notes

Today, 40% of our offering will go to Camp de Benneville Pines. For nearly 60 years, Camp de Benneville Pines has been trying to provide an atmosphere and an opportunity for all ages to participate together in learning, play, renewal and creating moments of great meaning.

Camp is for parents who want to believe and understand how it's possible for a community to help teach, mentor, nurture and love their child.  It is for kids that need moments of laughter, magic and memories of being beloved by more than those few people who are in their immediate family.

This morning's offering is to help those people who, because of financial limitations, might not have the opportunity to experience the magic of camp. Please help make that possible.
