*Gathering Hymn #170 We Are A Gentle, Angry People
We are a gentle, angry people, and we are singing, singing for our lives.
We are a gentle, angry people, and we are singing, singing for our lives.

We are gay and straight together, and we are singing, singing for our lives.

*Opening Hymn #1012 When I Am Frightened
*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
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. 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. For twenty-one years, Our House has helped thousands of grieving children, teens, and adults as they embark upon their journeys to hope and healing.
Music for the Morning : “Agnus Dei”
Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world
Have Mercy on Us
Lamb of God who take away the sin of the world
Grant us your peace.
