Liturgies
Our inclusive language liturgies generally set the structure and theme of Sunday morning worship. Since announcements are an integral part of our life together, we offer some guidelines for those who make announcements towards the end of worship.

Love to God and neighbor, love for plea and gift and sign. GATHERING ENTRANCE REFLECTION Gerald G. May, Simply Sane: The Spirituality of Mental Health GATHERING ENTRANCE REFLECTION When Jesus talked about the kingdom of God, he was not prophesying about some easy, danger-free perfection that will someday appear. He was talking about a state of being, a way of living at ease among the joys and sorrows of our world…. This state of being is not something alien or mystical. We don’t need to earn it. It is already ours. Stephen Mitchell p. 11 ENTRANCE REFLECTION -Kathleen Norris, Amazing Grace, p 62
ENTRANCE REFLECTION More than by fear of going astray, my hope is that we will be moved by the fear of remaining shut up within structures which give us a false sense of security, within rules which make us harsh judges, within habits which make us feel safe, while at our door people are starving and Jesus does not tire of saying to us: “Give them something to eat” [Mark 6:37].
