Gather the group around the chalice. Say:

The words of the hymn you will sing, "As Tranquil Streams," were written in 1933 to celebrate the growing connections between Unitarians and Universalists and published in the 1937 book Hymns of the Spirit, the first joint effort of the American Unitarian Association (AUA) and the Universalist Church of America (UCA). In 1960, after the denominations voted to merge, this song was the processional at the combined worship service.

Light the chalice and lead the group to sing Hymn 145, "As Tranquil Streams."
