Singing Our Faith ~ “There Is Room For All”

There is room for all in the shelter of God’s wing.

There is room for all in the shelter of God’s love.

And I rejoice and sing,

“My refuge and my rock in whom I trust!”

There is room for all.

There is room for all.

Celebration Song - "Circle of Friends," chorus only

Laugh (echo) Cry (echo) Live (echo), Die (echo)

Hello! (echo) Goodbye! (echo)

And God makes us a circle of friends.

One: From the creation of the world, God has freely given.

We give, not as solitary givers, but in solidarity with all creation.

May these gifts be used to build the Beloved Community.

Our Creator in heaven || Hallowed be Your name.

Your kingdom come. || Your will be done

On earth as in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread, || Forgive us our trespasses

As we forgive those || Who trespass against us.

Save us from the time of trial, || And deliver us || from evil.

For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours!

Now and forever. || Amen

Word About Life - Shared by Rev. Ken Heintzelman

Revelation 6:9-11

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.
