To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few.
- Emily Dickinson

*Gathering Hymn Enter, Rejoice, and Come In arr. Betty A. Wylder
Enter, rejoice, and come in.
Enter, rejoice, and come in.

Enter, rejoice, and come in.

Open your hearts, everyone.
Today will be a joyful day;
Enter, rejoice, and come in.

*Opening Hymn #349 We Gather Together
*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 What Gift Can We Bring Jane Marshall
What gift can we bring, what present, what token?
What words can convey it, the joy of this day?
When grateful we come, rememb’ring, rejoicing,
What song can we offer in honor and praise?
This gift we now bring, this present, this token,
These words can convey it, the joy of this day!
When grateful we come, rememb’ring, rejoicing,
This song we now offer in honor and praise!

Service Notes
This month, 60% of the non-pledge offering will go to Step up on Second. Step up on Second provides
help, hope and a home for individuals affected by mental illness. Each day, Step Up sees 100 individuals
and offers 22 programs in a continuum of care, all free of charge. For over a decade, volunteers from our
church served a meal to residents at Step Up on Second on the 4th Saturday of the month, and we
continue to reach out to our neighbors at Step Up in any way we can.
