Welcome
Call to Worship: Blessing of Gratitude, Celebration, and Support (Gwen Matthews) (Adapted)
* Lighting the Chalice Flame: Come, Come, Whoever You Are
Come, come, whoever you are
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.
Ours is no caravan of despair.
Come, yet again come.
*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.

Moment of Silence & Candle Lighting - A Thanksgiving Meditation (Naomi King)
Every day we experience hunger and yearning:
for food, for approval, for respect, for love,
for meaningful work, for any and enough work,
for home, for family, for friends,
for health, for healing, for hope,
for the departed, for the newly arrived,
for the green trees, for the cool clean waters,
for shade in the heat of the day, and for stars to light the velvet night.
Every day we are invited anew to be thankful:
for food, for approval, for respect, for love,
for meaningful work, for any and enough work,
for home, for family, for friends,
for health, for healing, for hope,
for the departed, for the newly arrived,
for the green trees, for the cool clean waters,
for shade in the heat of the day, and for stars to light the velvet night.
Our hearts beating in liberating flight, we soar in gratitude for all the gifts we have in this day, in this lifetime of being, and turn again to share this bounty with all that is.
Religious Education Class: Children Pre-K through 4th Grade are invited!
(In unison) Go now in peace, go now in peace; may the spirit of love surround you everywhere, everywhere you may go.
Offertory: Thank You (Dido)
Today is the 3rd Sunday of the month, so we are also collecting for the Justice Action Ministry Grants.
*Hymn: #128 For All That Is Our Life
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.
Postlude: Thankful (J. Groban)
