Singing #1000                              “Morning Has Come”                            Jason Shelton

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.
