A Healing Stream-A Reason for Being
Speaker: Reverend Bill Breeden
Welcoming
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.
