Call to Worship: Sabbath Invitation (J. Gibb Millspaugh)
Leave aside the little thoughts that distract you from the depths of your soul,
For this is a holy place, and now is a holy time.
Join with the others in this room, this community of seekers,
and together, let us find our Sabbath.
Welcome
* 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.

*Hymn: #352 Find A Stillness
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.
