Second Reading
The Second Reading will be taken from “I Shall Not Be Moved” by Maya Angelou,
entitled,
Me and My Work
I got a piece of a job on the waterfront.
Three days ain’t hardly a grind.
It buys some beans and collard greens
and pays the rent on time.
Course the wife works, too.
Got three big children to keep in school,
need clothes and shoes on their feet,
give them enough of the things they want
and keep them out of the street.
They’ve always been good
My story ain’t news and it ain’t all sad.
There’s plenty worse off than me.
Yet the only thing I really don’t need
is strangers’ sympathy.
That’s someone else’s word for
caring.
Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So
Congregation Response: AMEN!

(Praise)
May we always remember those who have gone before us;
May we be inspired by their vision and valor;
May their lives continuously remind us
That Service is More Important Than Success;
That People Are More Important Than Possessions;
That Principle Is More Important Than Power.
May whatever we do be shaped and molded by honesty, competence and
commitment.
May our children and our children’s children carry forth with pride, the
nobility of our history and tradition.
To the Creator of all of us, we dedicate our lives to make this world better
and more beautiful.
