Welcome, Announcements
Prelude:
Faith of Our Fathers
Opening Words – The Serenity Prayer
Please grant
me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
Lighting
the Chalice Flame (in unison): We light this chalice,
symbol of the Light within us and around us. May this gathering for worship enlighten
our hearts and our minds and our souls. And may the Inner Light of the Spirit
be kindled by our time together.
Hymn #123: Spirit of Life
Affirmation (remain
standing, 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.
Prayer
and Meditation, Candle lighting
Offertory: Chester-A Song of the
Revolution
By Billings played by Bruce Holden
Sermon: The Fourth of July
Harry Wolin
This Land is Your Land – Woody
Guthrie (insert)
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.
