Prelude:
Opening
Words
Lighting the Chalice Flame (in unison):
We
light the chalice for the web of life which sustains us, for the sacred circle
of life in which we have our being. For the Earth, the Sky. Above and Below,
and for our Mother Earth, and for the Mystery. by
Paul Sprecher

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.

Celebrate the Web of Life

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.
