March 26, 2017 Order of Service

At the sound of the chime, please join in singing Hymn #188 Come, Come, Whoever You Are

Welcome & Announcements

Prelude:  Lullaby by Billy Joel
                         
Opening Words
Lighting the Chalice Flame (in unison):
The chalice lit amongst us is a beacon. A beacon of hope, in a world in crisis. A beacon of possibility, made manifest in our community. A beacon of warmth through our interconnections. A beacon of light illuminating our shared wisdom. A beacon of connection by our being together.

New Member Recognition (see insert)

*Hymn: #360 Here We Have Gathered

Candles of Joy and Sorrow and Meditation  

Reading: Actions Change the World by     
                    Zahari Berlin

Offertory: No One is Alone by Stephen
                    Sondheim

Affirmation (in unison) Love is the spirit of this congregation and service is its law. This is our great covenant: to dwell together in peace, to seek the truth in love and to help one another.

Sermon:    Put Your Money Where your  
                    Values Are
                     Rev. CJ McGregor

*Hymn: #128 For All That Is Our Life

Extinguishing the Chalice Flame (in unison) We extinguish this flame, but not the light of truth, the warmth of community, or the fire of commitment. These we carry in our hearts until we are together again.
