Chalice Lighting (read together)
We light this chalice;
our welcome to share,
and our communion to declare.
May this flame
shine bright and afar
to serve as our community’s lodestar.
All are welcome from everywhere.
By anastasi birosh
Questions:
What makes you feel welcome in a new space?
How do you know you belong somewhere?
What can we do to make sure everyone is welcome here?
Chalice Extinguishing
Cheered by our community,
blessed by our covenant,
uplifted in mind, and renewed in spirit,
go forth with courage and in peace to meet the days to come. Amen.
