Opening Hymn
#346 "Come Sing a Song With Me"
by Carolyn McDade
Come, sing a song with me,
come, sing a song with me,
come, sing a song with me,
that I might know your mind.
(Chorus)
And I'll bring you hope
when hope is hard to find,
and I'll bring a song of love
and a rose in the wintertime.
Come, dream a dream with me,
come, dream a dream with me,
come, dream a dream with me,
that I might know your mind.
(Chorus)
Come, walk in rain with me,
come, walk in rain with me,
come, walk in rain with me,
that I might know your mind.
(Chorus)
Come, share a rose with me,
come, share a rose with me,
come, share a rose with me,
that I might know your mind.
(Chorus)

Offering
During the month of June--Pride Month in the United States--the recipient of our community outreach offering will be Trans Voice and Visibility-365. Managed by our friends at the Metropolitan Community Church of Hartford, TV-365 is a ministry dedicated to uplifting and supporting the wellbeing of transgender individuals in Connecticut by providing basic human needs, information and referral, service coordination and support to individuals. Their emphasis is on those most under-served, neglected, victimized and oppressed. This includes, but is not limited to, transgender women and men of color, those with disabilities, youth and elderly, immigrants (documented and undocumented), low income and victims of crime.

Closing Hymn
#123 "Spirit of Life"
by Carolyn McDade
Spirit of Life, come unto me.
Sing in my heart all the stirrings of compassion.
Blow in the wind, rise in the sea;
move in the hand, giving life the shape of justice.
Roots hold me close; wings set me free;
Spirit of Life, come to me, come to me.
Extinguishing the Chalice
Closing Circle
May faith in the spirit of life,
and hope for the community of Earth,
and love of the light in each other,
be ours now and in all the days to come.
