Reflection      At the Table with Gods and Prophets, Caitlin Harrison guest
speaker

*Closing Hymn    “Let There Be Peace on Earth”     Jill Jackson and Sy
Miller

Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me;

let there be peace on earth, the peace that was meant to be.

With God our creator, children all are we.

Let us walk with each other in perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me, let this be the moment now.

With every step I take, may this be my solemn vow:

To take each moment and live each moment  in peace eternally.

Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.

Benediction
