*Gathering Hymn Gathered Here Philip A. Porter
Gathered here in the mystery of the hour
Gathered here in one strong body
Gathered here in the struggle and the power
Spirit, draw near.
Unidos en el misterio de la hora.
Unidos ya en un gran cuerpo.
Unidos ya en la lucha triunfadora.
Espíritu ven.

*Opening Hymn Fuente de Amor Carolyn McDade
Fuente de͜ Amor, ven hacia mí.
Y͜ al corazón, cántale tu compasión.
Sopla͜ al volar, sube͜ en la mar,
hasta moldear la justicia de la vida.
Arráigame, libérame,
Fuente de͜ Amor, ven a mí, ven a mí.
*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.

Today’s Community Offering will go to Our House Grief Support Center. Grief is a natural reaction
after the death of someone close. Yet in our society few people are prepared for the intensity and
duration of the grief process. Our House was founded on the premise that grievers need
understanding, support, and connection. If you or someone you care about is grieving, we are here to
help. For support: 1.888.417.1444. http://www.ourhouse-grief.org.
