Gathering Hymn

Oh, we give thanks for this precious day,

For all gathered here, and those far away;

For this time we share with love and care,

Oh, we give thanks for this precious day.

Opening Hymn #1028

The Fire of Commitment               

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

The Giving Stone                                                           John Flynn

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

Fuente de_Amor, ven hacia mí.

Y_al corazón, cántale tu compasión.

Sopla_al volar, sube_en la mar,

Hasta moldear la justicia de la vida.

Arráigame, libérame,

Fuente de_Amor, ven a mi, ven a mi.
