*CALL TO WORSHIP              Reverend Mark W. Christian

 

* AFFIRMATION

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 others in community;

To the end that all souls shall grow in harmony with creation.

Thus do we covenant together.

 

*DOXOLOGY

From all who dwell below the skies

Let songs of faith and hope arise

Alleluia!  Alleluia!

Let peace, goodwill on earth be sung

Through every land by every tongue

Alleluia!  Alleluia!

Alleluia!  Alleluia!  Alleluia!

NOT FOR CHILDREN ONLY Rev. Christian

 

SINGING THE CHILDREN OUT

Go now in peace.  Go now in peace.

May the spirit of love surround you.

Everywhere, everywhere you may go.
