We are at a crossroads. The apostle Paul wants the church to fully understand the implications of their faith.
Join Union Presbyterian Church online as we welcome son of the congregation and our Parish Associate, the Rev. Jeff Kellam, to lead our worship and bring the Word. You are invited!
Hymn # 577 “Sing a New Church”
Delores Dufner (OneLicense #83450)
Summoned by the God who made us rich in our diversity,
Gathered in the name of Jesus, richer still in unity:
Let us bring the gifts that differ and, in splendid, varied ways,
Sing a new church into being, one in faith and love and praise.
Trust the goodness of creation; trust the Spirit strong within.
Dare to dream the vision promised sprung from seed of what has been.
Let us bring the gifts that differ and, in splendid, varied ways,
Sing a new church into being, one in faith and love and praise.
Bring the hopes of every nation; bring the art of every race.
Weave a song of peace and justice; let it sound through time and space.
Let us bring the gifts that differ and, in splendid, varied ways,
Sing a new church into being, one in faith and love and praise.
Draw together at one table all the human family;
Shape a circle ever wider and a people ever free.
Hymn # 615 “Community of Christ”
Shirley Erena Murray (OneLicense #03366)
Community of Christ, who make the cross your own,
Live out your creed and risk your life for God alone:
The God who wears your face, to whom all worlds belong,
Whose children are of every race and every song.
Community of Christ, look past the church’s door
And see the refugee, the hungry, and the poor.
Take hands with the oppressed, the jobless in your street,
Take towel and water, that you wash your neighbor’s feet.
Community of Christ, through whom the word must sound—
Cry out for justice and for peace the whole world round:
Disarm the powers that war and all that can destroy,
Turn bombs to bread, and tears of anguish into joy.
When menace melts away, so shall God’s will be done,
The climate of the world be peace and Christ its sun;
Our currency be love and kindliness our law,
Our food and faith be shared as one for evermore.
