Congregational Covenant Rev. Mark Skrabacz
Love is the doctrine of this church, El amor es la doctrina de esta iglesia,
The quest of truth is its sacrament Su sacramento es la búsqueda de la verdad
And service is its prayer. Y su oración es el servicio
To dwell together in peace, Convivir en paz
To seek knowledge in freedom, Buscar sabiduría en libertad,
To serve humanity in fellowship, Dar a la humanidad nuestro servicio fraternal,
To the end that all souls shall grow Para que todas las almas crezcan
into harmony with the divine, en armonía con la divinidad,
Thus do we covenant with each other. Así pactamos el uno con el otro
