Gathering Hymn

Come, come, whoever you are.

Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.

Ours is no caravan of despair.

Come, yet again come.

Opening Hymn #347

Gather the Spirit

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
