“Home is an idea rather than a place. It’s where you feel safe. Where you’re among people who are kind to you
– they’re not after you; they don’t have to like you – but they’ll not hurt you. And if you’re in trouble they’ll
help you… It’s community.”
- Toni Morrison

*Gathering Hymn Come, Come, Whoever You Are Lynn Adair Ungar
Come, come, whoever you are,
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.
Ours is no caravan of despair.
Come, yet again come.
Ven, ven cual eres, ven,
Nómada͜ en búsqueda, si͜ amas la vida.
La nuestra͜ es la caravana de͜ amor.
Ven, otra vez ven.

*Opening Hymn #6 Just as Long as I Have Breath
*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.

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.
