July 5 Virtual Worship

This week, we invite you to join us for a virtual communion experience. Gather your own elements, and we can share them together.

As our Independence Day celebrations wind down, we pause to pray for peace and unity in our county and our world. Thank you for continuing to join us for our virtual worship experiences. And while we anxiously await the time when we may be able to worship together again, we will always put the health and safety of our members, friends and community first. Be safe, be healthy, and stay connected as best you can.

America

1. My country, ’tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing;
   Land where my fathers died, Land of the Pilgrim’s pride,
   From every mountain side Let freedom ring!
2. Let music sweet the breeze, and ring from all the trees Sweet freedom’s song:
   Let mortal tongues awake, Let all that breathe partake;
   Let rocks their silence break, The sound prolong.

America the Beautiful

1. O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain,
   For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain!
   America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
   And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!
2. O beautiful for pilgrim feet, Whose stern impassioned stress
   A thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness!
   America! America! God mend thine every flaw,
   Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law!

Battle Hymn of the Republic

1. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
   He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
   He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword; lory! glory, hallelujah!
   His truth is marching on.

REFRAIN
Glory! glory, hallelujah! Glory! glory, hallelujah!
Glory! glory, hallelujah! Our God is marching on.

4. In the beauty of the lilies, Christ was born across the sea,
   With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me;
   As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free,
   While God is marching on.

REFRAIN

Spirit

REFRAIN
Spirit, Spirit of gentleness, blow through the wilderness, calling and free,
Spirit, Spirit of restlessness, stir me from placidness, wind, wind on the sea.

1. You move on the waters, you called to the deep,
   then you coaxed up the mountains from the valleys of sleep,
   and over the eons you called to each thing,
   “Awake from your slumbers and rise on your wings.”

REFRAIN

2. You swept through the desert, you stung with the sand,
   and you gifted your people with a law and a land,
   When they were confounded with idols and lies,
   Then you spoke through your prophets to open their eyes.

REFRAIN

3. You sand in a stable, you cried from a hill,
   then you whispered in silence when the whole world was still,
   and down in the city you called once again
   when you blew through your people on the rush of the wind.

REFRAIN

4. You call from tomorrow, you break ancient schemes,
   from the bondage of sorrow the captives dream dreams;
   our women see visions, our men clear their eyes.
   With bold new decisions your people arise.
