Gathering Hymn

Come, come, whoever you are

Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving

Ours is no caravan of despair

Come, yet again come.

Welcome

Unison Chalice Lighting

In our time of grief, we light a flame of sharing,

the flame of ongoing life.

In this time when we search for understanding and serenity

 in the face of loss,

we light this sign of quest for truth, meaning, and community.

                                                                                 ~ Christine Robinson

Opening Hymn

Sing to the power of the faith within,

Sing to the power of the faith within.

Lift up your voice, be not afraid,

Sing to the power of the faith within.

Sing to the power of the hope within…

Sing to the power of the love within…

Sing to the power of the joy within…

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
