founders dreamed a new church family; planning, building - all inviting.
our tradition formed alliance; understanding, and uniting.
people sharing life; knowing always, we are not alone.
doing justice, loving kindness, walking humbly with our god.

In this good place we meet again; in our church - our sacred space.
reading scripture, hearing gospel, sweet prayers and sweet music.
sharing life's good celebrations, sharing life's deep sad concerns.
doing justice, loving kindness, walking humbly with our god.

our church ever grows and changes; faith finds it's expression here.
our church is more than the people; wind of god blows gently free.
in this place we learn to listen, passing on what we received.
doing justice, loving kindness, walking humbly with our god.
