*Opening Hymn #131 Love Will Guide Us
*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.

Sung Response There’s A Wideness In Your Mercy Frederick William Faber
There’s a wideness in your mercy like the wideness of the sea.
There’s a kindness in your justice which is more than liberty.
For the love we serve is broader than the measures of our minds
And the heart of the eternal is most wonderfully kind.

Service Notes
This month, 60% of our offering will go to the the Unitarian Universalist Association . As one of
over 1,000 UU congregations in the United States and around the world, UU Santa Monica pledges our
mutual trust and support to all other UU congregations. Our support for the UUA through our shared
offering, as well as our congregation’s annual gift of $15,000 toward our Fair Share contribution,
allows UU congregations to transform their communities, enables religious leaders to innovate and
inspire, and amplifies our collective voice to bring more justice and more love to a world so in need of
our healing message. We give to support congregations other than our own because investing in and
strengthening the presence of Unitarian Universalism is a concrete expression of our
interconnectedness.
Calling all UUs: Join leaders, volunteers, and the UU Santa Monica YRUU Youth
Group and advisors at the largest annual gathering of UUs in the country at General Assembly in Portland,
OR, June 24-28 by registering at www.uua.org/ga or speaking with Congregation President Patricia Wright.
