WHAT WE MEAN WHEN WE SAY “WHITE PRIVILEGE”

Prelude: Everyman (Billiam Bennet)

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: (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 “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. 

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.      

Postlude: One Day (Matisyahu)
