AN INVITATION TO MAGIC
Rachel Melcher
Welcome
Opening Reading: For Five Thousand Years, or More, by Rev. Matthew Johnson
Lighting the Chalice Flame:
Come, come, whoever you are,
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.
Ours is no caravan of despair.
Come, yet again come.
Affirmation: 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.
Reading: Equinox, by Amy Stauber
Hymn: #175 We Celebrate the Web of Life
Children & Youth Check-In & Send-Off: Go now in peace, go now in peace; may the spirit of love surround you everywhere, everywhere you may go.

Sermon: An Invitation to Magic, Rachel Melcher

Extinguishing the Chalice Flame: 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.
