*Covenant Love is the doctrine of this church.
The quest for 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, goodwill on earth be sung
Through every land, by every tongue.

Service Notes
Today’s Community Offering will go to the UU Service Committee to advance human rights and
social justice in the United States and around the world. The work of the UU Service Committee is
built on the conviction that all people are entitled to basic human rights, which transcend divisions of
class, race, nationality, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, and gender. We envision a world free
from oppression and injustice, where all can realize their full human rights.
