Meeting ID: 960 5246 5552
Passcode: fuusm2323
Please *bring a food item to share at Coffee Hour*! (Note: we are rich in
tortilla chips, but not much else.) Finger foods require fewer dishes,
which helps the volunteers who will clean up afterward. Please consider
bringing your own travel mug and opting for a napkin, but no plate or fork
(when possible).

Dedication for the Rainbow Flag

We dedicate this flag [as a symbol of] our commitment to affirm and
celebrate loving relationships in all of their forms and gender identities
in their many expressions. May this flag inspire us to live with pride, to
embrace our truths, and to unite in the face of adversity. May it remind us
to work towards a world where love knows no bounds.   —Michelle Collins

Welcome Song   “Whoever You Are, We Welcome You,”  Hal Walker

*Responsive Reading  #442  “We Bid You Welcome”         Richard S. Gilbert

   We bid you welcome, who come with weary spirit seeking rest.

   Who come with troubles that are too much with you, who come hurt

   and afraid.

   We bid you welcome, who come with hope in your heart.

   Who come with anticipation in your step, who come proud and joyous.

   We bid you welcome, who are seekers of a new faith.

   Who come to probe and explore, who come to learn.

   We bid you welcome, who enter this hall as a homecoming.

   Who have found here room for your spirit, who find in this people a

   family.

   Whoever you are, whatever you are, wherever you are on your journey,

   We bid you welcome.
