Congregational Response: “Voice Still and Small” (#391 in Singing the Living Tradition)

Voice still and small, deep inside all,
I hear you call, singing.
In dark and rain; sorrow and pain,
still you remain singing.
Calming my fears, quenching my tears,
through all the years, singing.

Ancient Reading: The Bible, NIV Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Hymn #128 in Singing the Living Tradition: “For All That is Our Life”

Unison Benediction & Extinguishing the Chalice: “To Observe This Splendid World…” – Lóre Stevens

We extinguish this flame, but not our focus.
We quench this candle, but not our quests.
To observe this splendid world,
to witness each other,
To witness the changing cycle of the seasons,
these we continue
all the moments of our lives.

Postlude: “Turning of the Seasons”
