Order of Service, June 18

Welcome, Announcements

Prelude: Long and Winding Road, by The Beatles

Opening Words
 
Lighting the Chalice Flame (in unison):
Every endeavor begins with a first step and encounters darkness and difficulty along the way. We know the darkness of ignorance, of fear and of tyranny. Yet we know the dawning of the light, the beginning of hope and the renewal of life. Blessed be the eternal power which inspires us. Blessed be the source of light and of life. Written by Rev. Charles F Flagg, UU minister

Song: Home, recorded by Phil Phillips, performed today by Dan Lambert and Gary Evans.
         
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.

Silence for Prayer and Meditation, Candle Lighting

First Reading: John 13:35. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. (NIV)

Second Reading: John 15:13 Greater Love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one another. (NIV)

Third Reading:
7 principles of the UU (please turn to the back of your bulletin)

Offering Song: Carry on my wayward son, recorded by Tessa Netting, originally written/recorded by Kansas.

Sermon: The Dichotomous Journey  
                    Tess Lambert

Song: What the World Needs Now (see Insert) written by Hal David, composed by Burt Bacharach.
         
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.

Closing Words

Postlude: Ease On Down the Road from The Wiz,
composed by Charlie Smalls.
