You can submit a written testimony here at any time, and it will be read during the meeting.
Prelude
Hymn 364
Vainly, through night’s weary hours,
Keep we watch, lest foes alarm;
Vain our bulwarks and our towers,
But for God’s protecting arm.
Vain were all our toil and labor,
Did not God that labor bless;
Vain, without His grace and favor,
Every talent we possess.
Vainer still the hope of heaven
That on human strength relies;
But to him all good is given
Who in faith to God applies.
Hymn 364. Words: Harriet Auber, adapted. Music: Martin Shaw (MARCHING)
Readings
From the Bible, and correlative passages from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.
Silent Prayer
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Hymn 51
Eternal Mind the Potter is,
And thought th’ eternal clay:
The hand that fashions is divine,
His works pass not away.
Man is the noblest work of God,
His beauty, power and grace,
Immortal; perfect as his Mind
Reflected face to face.
God could not make imperfect man
His model infinite;
Unhallowed thought He could not plan,
Love’s work and Love must fit.
Life, Truth and Love the pattern make,
Christ is the perfect heir;
The clouds of sense roll back, and show
The form divinely fair.
God’s will is done; His kingdom come;
The Potter’s work is plain.
The longing to be good and true
Has brought the light again.
And man does stand as God’s own child,
The image of His love.
Let gladness ring from every tongue,
And heaven and earth approve.
Hymn 51. Words: Mary Alice Dayton. Music: Louis Spohr (SPOHR)

Hymn 416
Be true and list the voice within,
Be true unto thy high ideal,
Thy perfect self, that knows no sin,
That self that is the only real.
God is the only perfect One:
My perfect self is one with Him;
So man is seen as God’s own son,
When Truth dispels the shadows dim.
True to our God whose name is Love,
We shall fulfill our Father’s plan;
For true means true to God above,
To self, and to our fellow-man.
Hymn 416. Words: Kate L. Colby, adapted. Music: Gioacchino A. Rossini, arr. (INWOOD)
