As a fire is meant for burningwith a bright and warming
flame,so the church us meant
for mission,giving glory to God’s name.

Not to preach our creeds or customs,
but to build a bridge of care,we join hands across
the nations,finding neighbors everywhere.

We are learners; we are teachers;
we are pilgrims on the way.We are seekers;
we are givers;we are vessels made of clay.

By our gentle, loving actionswe would show that
Christ is light.In a humble, listening Spiritwe would live to God’s delight.

As a green bud in the springtime
is a sign of life renewed,so may we be signs
of oneness‘mid earth’s peoples,
many hued.

As a rainbow lights the heavens
when a storm is past and gone,
may our lives reflect the radiance
of God’s new and glorious dawn.
