Welcome and Announcements
Lighting the Candle
Call to Worship:   
Joy is loose,
   in the wiggles of the children,
the whispers of the youth,
   the smiles of the adults.
We praise God for this glorious day,
   Let the praise break forth
   in the most unlikely places and in silly ways.
Joy and praise fill our hearts and in our songs!
   Let the laughter be deep, for we are God's people.
