Welcome Pastor Cynthia Cochran-Carney
Reading Psalm 67 read by George Ridout
The Beloved is gracious to us,
a loving Presence within us;
The Radiant One shines in us.
O, that Love’s Way would be lived
throughout the earth,
Love’s abiding power embraced by all the nations.
May the people ever rejoice in You
singing songs of appreciation
for all that You, O Beloved,
freely give to us.
Let the nations listen and heed;
we are all called to live with
integrity and justice.
For you, O Blessed Counselor, will
guide every nation on earth
as the leaders and people open
their hearts and respond.
Abandoning ourselves into the
Heart of Love,
we need not worry or fret; for
Love’s grace abides wherever we are.
In Love let us make our home.
– From Psalms for Praying by Nan Merrill

Moment for Stewardship Dan and Dori Crawford
Closing Words
May God give you the grace never to sell yourself short;
Grace to risk something big for something good; and
Grace to remember the world is now
too dangerous for anything but the truth and
too small for anything but love.
- by The Rev. William Sloane Coffin
