*Opening Hymn #1 May Nothing Evil Cross This Door
*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.

Song of Blessing Go Your Way In Peace Jim Scott
Go your way in peace, wander as you may.
Blessed is the path you take, may love guide you on your way.
Comfort find in truth, may your struggles cease.
May the fire within your heart light the way of peace.

Service Notes
This month, 60% of our offering will go to the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC) 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.
