*Opening Hymn                                            #1018 Come and Go With Me

 

*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                                       #1053 How Could Anyone

                                                              How could anyone ever tell you, you were anything less than beautiful?

                                                              How could anyone ever tell you, you were less than whole?

                                                              How could anyone fail to notice, that your loving is a miracle?

                                                              How deeply you’re connected to my soul.

Today, 40% of our offering will go to Gender Justice. Gender Justice addresses the causes and

consequences of gender inequality, regionally and nationally. While GJ believe gender inequality

hurts everyone, it focuses on the needs of individuals, such as low-income and immigrant workers,

who have traditionally had the least access to justice. In each program area, Gender Justice

addresses cognitive bias – the subtle but pervasive ways that stereotypes affect our perceptions,

decisions, and preferences – as a root cause of inequality. It counteracts the most harmful

consequences of inequality by dismantling the gender-based barriers that prevent full participation

in women in our economy and our society. Please give what you can to help out those struggling in

our larger community. Thank you!
