Welcome and Announcements – Adam Ericksen Prelude – Jean Herrera Lighting of the Peace Candle – Jessica Gonzalez Our tradition at CUCC is to light a peace candle at the beginning of each worship service to center ourselves around the Peace of God. I invite you to join us in lighting the peace candle… All: We pray for peace in our hearts, in our homes, in our communities, in our nations, and in our worlds.
