Introduction and Hymn #188 Come, Come Whoever You Are
Opening Words: Mother’s Day, Female Mind & Femininity
Lighting the Chalice Flame (in unison):
A Hero is One who kindles a Great Light for the world; who sets up blazing torches in Life’s dark streets by which people can see their ways. A Saint is One who walks through the world’s darkness being herself The Light.
Prelude: Quiet Time/ Meditation/ Prayer Singing Bowls Meditation
Reading
Offertory: Close to You
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: The Divine Feminine, Dr. Tia Jolie Phillips*
Song
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.
Closing Words
Postlude: Reflection, sung by Marina Kabellar
