Chalice Lighting Like the First Hint of Green by Jennifer McGlothin
As the first hint of green begins to peek through the barren ground
As that little sprig grows into a healthy stem
As that stem grows into a stalk and forms a bud
As that bud slowly opens with each new day
To form a yellow daffodil
Let us be, like that first hint of green, renewed by the warm of the sun’s rays
And ready to emerge with a new energy, ready to face the day.
We light this chalice to bring a glimmer of that warmth into our space.

Extinguishing the Flame
Flame in Our Hearts by Vanessa Williams
Like the flame of the chalice,
may the flame in our hearts burn,
remaining unextinguished.
May it ignite our energies, our drive, our resolve,
to dream, to build, and live into the world
that good which exists, for now, only in our imaginings.
Benediction
