Sunday Order of Service
Greeting Sandi Campbell
Hymn #168 “One More Step” Joyce Poley
Welcome
Covenant Love is the spirit of this church,
and reason is its guide.
To dwell together in peace,
to seek truth in freedom,
and to serve human need:
this is our covenant.
Response May love shine forth through us today
May light of reason guide our way
May beauty, truth, and joy become
A flame that burns in everyone.
