*Please bring a tasty treat to share at coffee hour*. Like Mother Hubbard's
cupboard, leftover pickin's in our fridge are kind of slim. All
contributions, *especially fresh ones*, will be gratefully received. Yummy
treats (and coffee) are an important part of our Sunday experience.
Volunteers (like you) make it happen.

Involving All for Community Strength, Tiffany Neill, guest speaker

 We “celebrate the inherent worth and dignity of every person. In all our
differences of body and mind, may we find strength in community and joy in
the circle wide enough for us all.”—Peter Raible

Welcome Song “Whoever You Are”                      Hal Walker

Whomever you love, we welcome you.

Responsive Reading   “We Answer the Call of Love” Julia Corbett-Hemeyer

In the face of hate,
We answer the call of love.
In the face of exclusion,
We answer the call of inclusion.
In the face of homophobia,
We answer the call of LGBTQ rights.
In the face of racism,
We answer the call of justice for all races.
In the face of xenophobia,
We answer the call of pluralism.
In the face of misogyny,
We answer the call of women’s rights.
In the face of demagoguery,
*We answer the call of reason.*
In the face of religious intolerance,
We answer the call of diversity.
In the face of narrow nationalism,
We answer the call of global community.
In the face of bigotry,
We answer the call of open-mindedness.
In the face of despair,
We answer the call of hope.

As Unitarian Universalists, we answer the call of love —
now more than ever.
