The ground was wet and the sky a bit drippy as the service started. The band played from the Narthex, we had a speaker a chairs in the Fellowship Hall, and the broadcast over the radio continued as usual. Overall, the service went well despite weather unfriendly to electronics.

Benediction

We Are God's People

We are God's people, the chosen of the Lord,

Born of His Spirit, established by His Word;

Our cornerstone is Christ alone,

And strong in Him we stand:

O let us live transparently,

And walk heart to heart and hand in hand.

We are God's loved ones, the Bride of Christ our Lord,

For we have known it, the love of God our poured;

Now let us learn how to return

The gift of love once given:

O let us share each joy and care,

And live with a zeal that pleases Heaven.

We are the Body of which the Lord is Head,

Called to obey Him, now risen from the dead;

He wills us be a family

Diverse yet truly one:

O let us give our gifts to God,

And so shall His work on earth be done.

We are a Temple, the Spirit's dwelling place,

Formed in great weakness, a cup to hold God's grace;

We die alone, for on its own

Each ember loses fire:

Yet joined in one the flame burns on

To give warmth and light, and to inspire.
