Opening Hymn #95

There is More Love Somewhere

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.

Hymn of Praise

 

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

Go now in peace,

Go now in peace,

May the spirit of love surround you

As you go, as you go

On your way.                                                                   ~ Natalie Sleeth
