Hymn: 
May the love we're sharing
Spread its wings and fly
Across the earth, and bring new joy
To every soul who is alive
May the blessings of your grace
My love shine on everyone
And may we all see the light
Within, within, within

Social Justice Minute:  MMC Food Pantry & Thrift Shop, Freddy Entin

Moment of Silence & Candle Lighting

Religious Education Class: Go now in peace, go now in peace; may the spirit of love surround you everywhere, everywhere you may go.

Offertory: Color My World (J. Pankow)

Sermon: What We Mean When We Say “Covenanting for Justice through Freedom from Religion,” Rev Dr Dan Lambert

Hymn: If I had A Hammer
If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
If I had a bell
I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening
All over this land
I'd ring out danger
I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
If I had a song
I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening
All over this land
I'd sing out danger
I'd sing out a warning
I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
Well I've got a hammer
And I've got a bell
And I've got a song to sing
All over this land
It's the hammer of justice
It's the bell of freedom
It's the song about love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

WHAT WE MEAN WHEN WE SAY “LIBERAL”

Worship Assistant: Bob Burns 

Prelude: 100 Year (Billiam Bennett)

Welcome   

Call to Worship: Our Liberal Faith

Leader: Because we value human reason over historical superstitions and myths,
ALL: We have a liberal theology.
Because we value ideals over dogma,
We hold to liberal principles.
Because we are all on our own spiritual path and not merely following anyone else’s path,
We share a liberal religion.
Because our search for truth and meaning requires intellectual inquiry and discussion,
We are a liberal community.
Because we value each person and the interconnected web of which we are but a part,
We share love liberally.
And because we come together today to seek truth,
We participate in a liberal worship experience together.
May our liberal religion lead us to be better neighbors, better citizens, and better people. Amen. 

Lighting the Chalice Flame: Come, Come, Whoever You Are
Come, come, whoever you are.
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.
Ours is no caravan of despair.

• Family tragedy
• Emotional or spiritual counseling (I am NOT a licensed mental health therapist, though)
• Personal struggles
• Relationship conflicts
• Life questions or challenges
• Weddings
• Funerals
You can easily reach Rev. Dan via text or phone. That phone number is 561-628-6954. 
Pastoral Care is one of the most integral functions of a minister, and it is always confidential.

Sermon: What We Mean When We Say “White Privilege” – Chevara Orrin

Hymn: Imagine (J. Lennon)
Imagine there's no heaven. It's easy if you try.
No hell below us, Above us only sky.
Imagine all the people, Living for today.

Imagine there's no countries. It isn't hard to do.
Nothing to kill or die for, And no religion, too.
Imagine all the people, Living life in peace.

You may say I'm a dreamer, 
But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us,
And the world will be as one.

Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can.
No need for greed or hunger; 
A brotherhood of man.
Imagine all the people, Sharing all the world.

You may say I'm a dreamer. 
But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us.
And the world will live as one.
