Opening Hymn
#1008 "When Our Heart Is in a Holy Place"
Words and Music by Joyce Poley
Chorus
When our heart is in a holy place,
When our heart is in a holy place,
We are bless'd with love and amazing grace,
When our heart is in a holy place.
When we trust the wisdom in each of us,
Ev'ry color ev'ry creed and kind,
And we see our faces in each other's eyes,
Then our heart is in a holy place.
Chorus
When we tell our story from deep inside,
And we listen with a loving mind,
And we hear our voices in each other's words,
Then our heart is in a holy place.
Chorus
When we share the silence of sacred space,
And the God of our Heart stirs within,
And we feel the power of each other's faith,
Then our heart is in a holy place.

Go lifted up,
Love bless your way

into peace
and the brightness of day

Closing Words
"The Truth That Makes Us Free"
Worship Web: Author Unknown
May the truth that makes us free,
and the hope that never dies,
and the love that casts out all fear
lead us forward together,
'till the day breaks,
and the shadows flee away.
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.
