Gathering Hymn

    “Now Let Us Sing”

Sing to the power of the faith within,

Sing to the power of the faith within.

Lift up your voice, be not afraid,

Sing to the power of the faith within.

Sing to the power of the hope within…

    Sing to the power of the love within…

Sing to the power of the joy within…

Opening Hymn #1024

When the Spirit Says Do

Covenant

Love is the doctrine of this church.     

The quest of 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, good will on earth be sung

Through every land, by every tongue.           ~ based on Isaac Watts

Offering for the Westside Food Bank

Song of Blessing

Go now in peace, go now in peace,

May the spirit of love surround you

On your way.                                                             ~ Natalie Sleeth
