Gathering Hymn

Gathered here in the mystery of the hour,

Gathered here in one strong body.

Gathered here in the struggle and the power,

Spirit, draw near.

 Opening Hymn #170

We Are A Gentle, Angry People

 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

Offering for the Westside Food Bank

Song of Blessing

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
