Go in love, our hearts go with you.
Go in joy, our hopes go too.
Learn in love and grow in wisdom.
Shine your light in all you do.
                                                           
Our Mission and Covenant          Pat
We are a church of reason and spirit,
that witnesses for progressive faith,
nurtures our community and transforms our world.
                                                        
Love is the spirit of this church, and service is its law.
This is our great covenant: to dwell together in peace,
to seek the truth in love, and to help one another.

Extinguishing the Chalice          Pat

These we carry in our hearts until we are together again.
