Hymn #105 From Age to Age Brad Dumont, vocals
1. From age to age how grandly rise
the prophet souls in line;
above the passing centuries like beacon lights they shine,
like beacon lights they shine.
2. Their kindling power our souls confess;
though dead they speak today:
how great the cloud of witnesses encompassing our way,
encompassing our way.
3. Through every race, in every clime,
one song shall yet be heard:
move onward in thy course sublime, O everlasting Word,
O everlasting Word.
Covenant Michelle Coté,
Director of Religious Education
Love is the spirit of this church,
and service its law.
This is our great covenant:
To dwell together in peace,
to seek the truth in love,
and to help one another.
* Affirmation
From all that dwell below the skies
let words of love and peace arise.
Let joyful songs of praise be sung,
through every land, by every tongue.

Prayer or Meditation
Hymn #1045 There Is a Balm in Gilead
Chorus: There is a balm in Gilead
To make the wounded whole;
There is a balm in Gilead
To heal the sin-sick soul.
1. Sometimes I feel discouraged
And think my work's in vain,
But then the Holy Spirit
Revives my soul again.
2. If you cannot preach like Peter,
If you cannot pray like Paul,
You can tell the love of Jesus,
And say "He died for all!"

Hymn #145 Lift Every Voice and Sing
(#15 Justice Choir Songbook)
Lift every voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring,
ring with the harmonies of liberty;
let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies,
let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us;
sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
let us march on till victory is won.
