Lighting the Chalice Flame: We light this chalice flame this morning to remind us to be present in this moment, this link between what was and what yet shall be. May this flame gather us in and hold us in joy and gratitude.
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.
Hymn: #1000 Morning Has Come
Morning has come, arise and greet the day! Dance with joy and sing a song of gladness! The light of hope here shines upon each face. May it bring faith to guide our journey home.
A new day dawns, once more the gift is giv’n. Wonder fills this moment shared together. The light of peace here shines upon each face. May it bring faith to guide our journey home.
Open our eyes to see that life abounds. Open hearts to welcome it among us. The light of love here shines upon each face. May it bring faith to guide our journey home.
Children’s Faith Development Program:
Go now in peace, go now in peace; may the spirit of love surround you everywhere, everywhere you may go.
