Prelude: Come, Come Whoever You Are
Welcome/ Announcements
Opening Words
Lighting
the Chalice Flame (in unison): As we light our chalice flame in a world filled with darkness of
ignorance, let us bring the light of reason. As we light our chalice flame in a
world filled with darkness of despair, may we share the light of hope. As we light our chalice flame in a world
filled with darkness of hate, let us shine the light of love.
*Hymn #123 Spirit of Life

Offertory: Moon Shadow Cat
Stevens
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.
Sermon: Reflections on a Golden Rule CB Hanif
*Hymn #38 Morning Has Broken
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.
