*Opening Hymn #113 Where is Our Holy Church?
*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 LA GOAL. LA GOAL is a bold and courageous
community that empowers adults with developmental disabilities to live healthy, productive,
independent lives. LA GOAL unlocks the full potential of every person and offers society a new
perspective on inclusion – one that demonstrates life is simply better when people with
developmental disabilities are a part of it. LA GOAL is based in Culver City and is currently recruiting
volunteers to build meaningful reciprocal relationships with clients in arts, sewing, and ceramics, and
as tutors in adult education.
