CHIMES & WELCOME      

PRELUDE

     “Partita #2” by J.S. Bach (excerpt)

LIGHTING THE CHALICE   

     The words of Elizabeth Alexander

OPENING HYMN

     Music: “For The Beauty of the Earth”

OUR COVENANT 

Love is the doctrine of this faith,


The quest for truth is its sacrament,


And service is its prayer.


To dwell together in peace,


To seek knowledge in freedom, to serve human need,


To the end that all souls shall grow into harmony with the Divine.

    Thus do we covenant with one another and

    love beyond belief. 

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH

     “Doxology”

     From all that dwell below the skies

     Let songs of hope and praise arise;

     Let peace, good will on earth be sung

     Through every land by every tongue

STONES AND WATER RITUAL

      “Spirit of Life”

JOYS AND SORROWS 

     The words of Rev. Dr. Rebecca Parker   

     Response: There is a love holding you.

     All: There is a love holding me, 

            There is a love holding you, 

            There is a love holding all.

            We rest in this love.

EXTINGUISHING THE CHALICE

     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
