¬¬¬ Covenant

 

Love is the doctrine of this church.     

The quest of 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.

From all that dwell below the skies

Let songs of hope and faith arise

Let peace, good will on earth be sung

Through every land, by every tongue.    ~ based on Isaac Watts

Service Notes

Our Generous Congregation offering of 50% of the non pledge offering this month goes to Camp deBenneville Pines. DeBenneville Pines is a UU camp in the San Bernardino National Forest, about 90 miles east of Los Angeles. Since 1962, Unitarian Universalists have gathered in the pines to experience the wonder of the natural world while deepening their connections to their faith and one another. DeBenneville Pines is open year-round to host inspiring and unforgettable programs in liberal religion, nature, music, women's and men's spirituality, as well as popular camp-style experiences for children, youth, young adults, adults, families, and elders. Register for your time in the pines with the all-church weekend Sept 13-15 by emailing Jacki Weber at jacki.weber@gmail.com. Details at www.uucamp.org/
