*Gathering Hymn Come, Come, Whoever You Are Rev. Lynn Adair Ungar
Ven, ven, cual eres, ven,
Nómada͜ en búsqueda, si͜ amas la vida.
La nuestra͜ es la caravana de͜ amor.
Ven, otra vez ven.
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 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
This morning we are happy to welcome guest musician Roy Zimmerman. After over twenty years and
twelve albums, Zimmerman has been influential in bringing, “the sting of satire to the struggle for
Peace and Social Justice.” Zimmerman’s music has been featured on HBO and Showtime, and he is a
regular blogger at the Huffington Post. More information can be found at www.RoyZimmerman.com .
Today’s Community Offering will go to the UU Service Committee to advance human rights and
social justice in the United States and around the world. The work of the UU Service Committee is
built on the conviction that all people are entitled to basic human rights, which transcend divisions of
class, race, nationality, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, and gender. We envision a world free
from oppression and injustice, where all can realize their full human rights.
