Opening Words
Lighting
the Chalice Flame (in unison): May the light we now kindle
inspire us to use our powers to heal not to harm, to help not to hinder, to
bless not to curse, to serve you spirit of freedom.
Hymn #123: Spirit of Life
Candles of Joy and Sorrow and Meditation
Reading: 1990’s article from the New York
Times
Offertory: Let It Be performed

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: Drugs, Legalize? Ben Juhl
Closing Hymn: #346 Come, Sing a Song with Me
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.
