Opening Words
Chalice Lighting
Deep Calls Unto Deep, Joy Calls Unto Joy By Gordon B. McKeeman
Deep calls unto deep, joy calls unto joy, light calls unto light.
Let the kindling of this flame rekindle in us the inner light of hope, of peace, and of love.
And "as one flame lights another, nor grows the less,”
we pledge ourselves to be bearers of the light, wherever we are.

Extinguishing the Flame
Only one thing required of us By Kendyl R. Gibbons
There is, finally, only one thing required of us: that is, to take life whole, the sunlight and shadows together; to live the life that is given us with courage and humor and truth.
We have such a little moment out of the vastness of time for all our wondering and loving. Therefore, let there be no half-heartedness; rather, let the soul be ardent in its pain, in its yearning, in its praise.
Then shall peace enfold our days, and glory shall not fade from our lives.
Benediction
Postlude Beth Portman
