*** 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
The Reverend Anne Felton Hines recently retired after over 30 years of parish ministry -- all within our Pacific
Southwest District. Her most recent ministry was with Emerson UU Church in Canoga Park, where she was the
longest-serving minister they'd ever had; they honored her by designating her Minister Emerita. She was born
and raised in Pasadena, and has two adult children and two teenage grandchildren. Besides ministry and her
family, she loves playing classical piano.
We are very happy to welcome Joe Engleman’s musical contributions to this morning’s service!
