Prelude
Chalice Lighting
Why We're Here by Rev. Erik Walker Wikstrom
Here, today, in this place and with these people,
May we listen so that we can hear;
May we hear so that we can feel;
May we feel so that we can know; and
May we know so that we can change ourselves and this world.
May this chalice we light,
Light our Way.

May You Be changed by Emily Richards
May you leave this time together changed.
May the. promises you have made to yourself about who you want to be
feel closer to the reality of who you are right now.
May you share that feeling of transformation wherever you go.
May it spread into every word, deed. thought and interaction.
Until we are changed, transformed and transforming together,
Becoming our better selves.
Benediction
Carry the Flame
