WELCOME  – Callie Rivera

CALL TO WORSHIP – Nancy Trench        

                         This is the day God has made.

                       A day for gratitude, courage, and connection. 

                         This is a place where strangers can become neighbors, and neighbors can become family.

                        A place where every voice matters and every life is sacred.

                       This is a community called to widen the circle, repair what is broken, and celebrate what is good.

                   A community learning to love with honesty, mercy, and joy.

All:         So let us worship God together-with open hearts, open hands, and open doors. Amen.
