Opening Words
We bid you welcome, who come with weary spirit seeking rest.
Who come with troubles that are too much with you; who come hurt and afraid.
We bid you welcome, who come with hope in your heart.
Who come with anticipation in your step; who come proud and joyous.
We bid you welcome, who are seekers of a new faith.
Who come to probe and explore; who come to learn.
We bid you welcome, who enter this hall as a homecoming.
Who have found here room for your spirit; who find in this people a family.
Whoever you are, whatever you are, where ever you are on your journey.
We bid you welcome.

There are seven principles which Unitarian Universalist congregations afform and promote:
The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations and in society at large;
The goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all;
Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
