Singing #1058                               “Be Ours a Religion”                       Parker/Benjamin

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.

Sung 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.
