Ringing of the Church Bell
Affirmation of Faith
Love is the Doctrine of this Church,
The Quest for Truth is its Sacrament,
Service is its Prayer,
And this is our Covenant:
To dwell together in Peace,
To seek the truth in Love,
And to help one another.

We gather this hour as people of faith,
with joys and sorrows, gifts and needs.
We light this beacon of hope,
Sign of our quest for truth and meaning,
in celebration of the life we share together.
