Order of Service, February 24, 2019

WHAT WE MEAN WHEN WE SAY “INCLUSIVE”

Worship Assistant: Lois Friel

Prelude:  Blood Brother (I. Michaelson)

Welcome  

Call to Worship

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: 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.

 (In unison) Go now in peace, go now in peace; may the spirit of love surround you everywhere, everywhere you may go.

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.
