*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.
Offering for the Westside Food Bank and Turning Point
Time for All Ages La Ofrenda Vilma Ortiz
Song of Blessing Vision for humanity, all around the child.
Loving as one family, all around the child.
Life passages well understood, known and felt around the earth;
Light of love and joy extend all around the child.

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.
