Opening Hymn
#1008 "When Our Heart is In a Holy Place"
by Joyce Poley
Chorus
When our heart is in a holy place,
When our heart is in a holy place
We are bless'd with love and amazing grace
When our heart is in a holy place.
When we trust the wisdom in each of us
Ev'ry color ev'ry creed and kind,
And we see our faces in each other's eyes
Then our heart is in a holy place
Chorus
When we tell our story from deep inside,
And we listen with a loving mind,
And we hear our voices in each other's words,
Then our heart is in a holy place.
Chorus
When we share the silence of sacred space,
And the God of our Heart stirs within,
And we feel the power of each other's faith,
Then our heart is in a holy place.

Closing Hymn
#1053 "How Could Anyone"
by Libby Roderick
How could anyone ever tell you
you were anything less than beautiful?
How could anyone ever tell you
you were less than whole?
How could anyone fail to notice
that your loving is a miracle?
How deeply you're connected to my soul.
Closing Words: "The Book of Hours: I, 59 by Rainer Maria Rilke

And hope for the community of earth
And love of the light in each other
