Costello
Welcome
*Hymn
#188: Come, Come, Whoever You Are
Lighting the Chalice Flame (in unison):
Let
the lighting of this flame rekindle in us the inner light of love, of peace, of
joy, of hope. And as one flame lights another, we pledge ourselves to be
bearers of the light wherever we are.

Offertory: Find a Stillness
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.
Musical Interlude: Hold On by Kansas; lyrics edited by Karl Ostermann
Sermon: Finite or
Infinite? Karl Ostermann
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.
