Chalice Lighting by Stephen Lingwood
Light your candle while reading these words:
"We light this chalice, symbol of the Light within us and around us.
May this gathering for worship enlighten our hearts and our minds and our souls.
And may the Inner Light of the Spirit be kindled by our time together."

Chalice Closing
Blow out your candle and say these words:
Extinguishing the Chalice
We Keep Its Light in Our Hearts

We extinguish this flame,
But we keep its light in our hearts,
with its message of love and justice,
Taking it outside these walls to the world we live in,
until we are together again.
