Welcome and Announcements
Lighting the Chalice Flame: Open to Unexpected Answers by Julianne Lepp: (in unison) We seek our place in the world and the answer to our hearts’ deep questions. As we seek, may our hearts be open to unexpected answers. May the light of our chalice remind us that this is a community of warmth, of wisdom, and welcoming of multiple truths.
*Hymn #352 Find a Stillness
Quiet Time/Meditation/Prayer
Offertory: The Journey arranged by Joseph M. Martin
* Affirmation: (in unison) Love is the spirit of this Congregation and service is its law. This is our great covenant to dwell together in peace, to seek the truth in love and to help one another.

Extinguishing the Chalice Flame (in unison) We extinguish this flame, but not the light of truth, the warmth of community, or the fire of commitment. These we carry in our hearts until we are together again.
