Welcome, Announcements
Prelude: Hallelujah by
Cohen
Opening Words
Lighting the Chalice Flame (in unison):
We give thanks for the light of
hope- unrelenting and inexplicable. We give thanks for the light of peace-
strong and unafraid. We give thanks for the light of joy- persistent and
unpredictable. We give thanks for the light of love- hot and holy. We give
thanks for the light of truth- elusive and worthy. We light this chalice as a
symbol of our search for hope, peace, joy, love and truth
Song: Imagine by
John Lennon (see insert)
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.

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.
