Lighting the Chalice
We
light this flame in memory of years past that have brought us
to this hour and to the countless lives, known and unknown, that
have made our lives possible.
We
light this flame of life in affirmation of the strength that is
ours to live this day, and the potential we have to create a better
tomorrow.
We
light this flame of faith that our minds may be enlightened, our
love deepened, our path together illumined by understanding and
peace.

(Bring your Passages and Milestones

At this point in our
service, children will be escorted to their Religious Education
classes, as we sing them out with the following words::
Go
now in peace, go now in peace.
May the spirit of love surround you
Everywhere, everywhere, you may go.

Extinguishing
the Chalice
Knowing
how quickly the flame of truth might be extinguished, how easily
the chalice of fellowship broken, let us be vigilant in our faith,
keep peace in our hearts, and make care for one another the watchword
of our lives together.
So
our light shines out ... everywhere ... into the world.

for Coffee and Conversation. Your children are invited to participate
