Service: March 5

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

Welcome & Announcements

Prelude:  Wayfarin Stranger Spiritual
 
                         
Opening Words

Lighting the Chalice Flame (in unison):
We call this light before us in hope that we may always remain a strong community, working together to make the world a better place. This flame guides us out of darkness. The chalice reminds us to share our happiness with others.

*Hymn: #100 I’ve got Peace like a River

Candles of Joy and Sorrow and Meditation  

Reading:  To Recognize Our Humanity
                       by Peg Fagan           
           
Offertory:    Deep River Spiritual
 
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.

*Hymn: #318 We Would Be One
                   
Sermon:    The Underbelly of the Palm
                    Beaches
                     Rev. CJ McGregor

*Hymn: #346 Come, Sing a Song with Me

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:   Singing Bowl Meditation
