Part of Building Bridges
Speak the text while performing the gestures described in italics.
We light this chalice to celebrate Unitarian Universalism. |
When saying "Unitarian," cup your right hand in a U shape. When saying "Universalism," cup your left hand in a U shape. |
This is the church of the open mind. |
Touch your hands to your head, then open them outward. |
This is the church of the helping hands. |
Hold your hands out in front of you, palms up. |
This is the church of the loving heart. |
Cross your hands flat over your heart. |
Together we care for our earth and work for friendship and peace in our world. |
