WHAT WE MEAN WHEN WE SAY “LOVE”
Prelude: Where is Love (L. Bart)
Welcome
Call to Worship: #638 Love
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.
Come, yet again come.
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: What We Mean When We Say “Love,” Rev. Dr. Dan Lambert

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.

PASTORAL CARE INFORMATION
As a reminder, Rev. Dan is always available for Pastoral Care. That simply means providing a listening ear, an encouraging word, or a calming presence when life’s many challenges come your way.
He is available not only during regular office hours and by appointment, but also 24/7 for emergencies. What might be some reasons to contact him for Pastoral Care? Reasons include the following:
• Encouragement through health problems
• Hospitalization
• 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.
