Prelude:
The Circle is Cast – Robert Gass, and
On The Wings of Song
Opening Words
Lighting the Chalice Flame (in
unison):
We light this 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.
Hymn #188: Come, Come, Whoever You Are
Affirmation (remain
standing, 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.

An Introduction” Dayan

Extinguishing
the Chalice Flame (in unison) We extinguish this flame, but not the light of truth, the warmth of

together again.
