*Opening Hymn #305 De Colores
*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.

May the spirit of love surround you, as you go, as you go
On your way.

Today 40% of our non-pledge offering will go to Our House Grief Support Center. Grief is a natural reaction after the death of someone close. Since 1993, Our House has helped thousands of grieving children, teens, and adults as they embark upon a journey to hope and healing.
Rev. Bill Schulz, recently retired from full-time ministry and from the presidency of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee, is a senior fellow in human rights at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard and an affiliated minister at Meadville Lombard Theological School in Chicago.
Introitus Translation:
Eternal rest, grant to them, O God.
And may light perpetual shine upon them.
A hymn, O God, becomes you in Zion,
And a vow shall be made to you in Jerusalem.
O God, hear my prayer.
To you, all flesh comes.
