Musical Prelude
Welcome
“Be Welcome Here”
Be welcome here
Be welcome here
Whoever you are
Wherever you go
Be welcome here
Even if you have
broken your vows
a thousand times or more
Be welcome here
May you be in peace
May you be at ease
May you be free
And may you be in peace
May God’s Grace
shower on you
And may you find the peace within
and live your truth
And you’ll see the day will come
When with elation you will greet
Yourself at your own door
To give your heart back to the Self
To the stranger
who hath loved you
all your life
The Questions
What does it mean to me to be patient?
Do I consider myself a patient person?
Opening Prayer
I now ask the innermost center of my being
to release all negativity from the week just passed,
and throughout my life.
I let go of angry feelings and disturbing emotions.
I remove from my mind
thoughts of doubt, fear, guilt, and judgment.
I firmly discharge any beliefs of inadequacy,
ill health, or scarcity.
Beginning this very moment,
I allow myself to see the world
as a possibility of goodness, peace, and harmony.
I find evidence of health, forgiveness, joy, and abundance.
I replace fear with love.
Because I sow vigorous, positive seeds of expectation,
carefully water and nourish them
by making an optimistic attitude part of my life,
the Divine Creative Force within me
grows a bountiful harvest
from the very seeds I have sown.
And so it is!

“Patience”
Nick Lachey
Just have a little patience
I'm still hurting from a love I lost
I'm feeling your frustration
Any minute all the pain will stop.
Just hold me close inside Your Arms tonight
Don't be too hard on my emotions.
'Cause I…Need time…..
My heart is numb, has no feeling
So while I'm still healing
Just try….. and have a little patience.
I really wanna start over again
I know You wanna be my salvation
The One that I can always depend.
I'll try…to be strong
Believe me…I'm trying…to move on
It's complicated but understand me.
'Cause I…Need time…..
My heart is numb, has no feeling
So while I'm still healing
Just try….. and have a little patience…yeah
Have a little patience…yeah
'Cause the scars run so deep
It's been hard but I have to believe
Have a little patience
Could You have a little patience
'Cause I…Need time…..
My heart is numb, has no feeling
So while I'm still healing
Just try….. and have a little patience.
Have a little patience
My heart is numb, has no feeling
So while I'm still healing
Just try and have a little patience

Announcements
Declaration
I am a Free Spiritual Being,
manifested from the Source of all life.
That is my true identity.
No person, place, or thing can hold power over me.
The unlimited wisdom and supply of my Source
is always flowing powerfully within me.
I choose to access this great Intelligence,
and live my life in harmony
with gentle, internal guidance.
Freedom is accepting my unique self.
Freedom is letting go of my judgments,
and allowing others to effect their own destinies.
Freedom is lightheartedness,
and finding abundance everywhere.
Freedom is creating miracles with love, joy, and laughter.
Freedom is knowing that I really am Divine!
And remembering who I am,
I extend my hand, and lovingly ask you to walk with me,
in freedom, harmony, and peace.

“One Small Step”
Karen Drucker
“Hold On To Love” CD
I’m taking…
One small step - instead of looking at the mountain
One small step - it gets me closer to my goal
One small step - instead of looking at the mountain
then it won’t seem like I’ve got so far to go…
(Repeat)
I’ve got dreams filled with passion
I’ve got fears that seem to pop up in my way
but I’ve got power that’s deep inside my soul
when I look too far and lose my way.
it always lets me know…that I’ve gotta take
One small step - instead of looking at the mountain
Taking one small step - gets me closer to my goal
I’m taking one small step - instead of looking at the mountain
then it won’t seem like I’ve got so far to go…
I got off the track - I couldn’t find my way back
when I looked inside the truth - there could not be denied
I was making it harder than it had to be
just pushin’ and fightin’ - until I found the key
that I gotta take…
One small step - instead of looking at the mountain
Taking one small step - gets me closer to my goal
I’m taking one small step - instead of looking at the mountain
then it won’t seem like I’ve got so far to go…
Closing Prayer
Heavenly Creator, Divine Consciousness within me,
I welcome You into my awareness,
and open myself to Your loving guidance.
Awaken my direction in life
to the Universal Will of Your peaceful perfection.
Help me to forgive myself,
and help me to forgive my brothers and sisters.
I thank You for the blessings in my life,
and for seeing only my innocence.
Through Your presence in my heart,
guide me in the light of Your Love,
in co-creation with the Divine Plan.
Sharing of our Miracles & Healing Circle
Closing Circle Song
Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth, the peace that was meant to be.
With God as Creator, united all are we.
Let us walk with each other, in perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me, let this be the moment now.
With every step I take, let this be my joyous vow;
To take each moment, and live each moment in peace eternally,
Let there be peace on earth, and it has begun with me.
REST ROOM facilities are in the hall between the worship and
fellowship rooms. There is also a ladies room and a unisex
bathroom on the first floor, and a men’s room down the stairs
from the first floor.
