In "Families," a Tapestry of Faith program
Materials for Activity
- Chalice and matches
Description of Activity
Gather participants together in a circle. Ask participants if anyone would like to light the chalice or offer words—either their own or the prayer below. If no one volunteers, lead with this prayer.
O creative flame,
Quicken our spirits when we fear,
And warm us where pain resides,
As we celebrate the new and the eternal,
Chalice of our faith,
Challenging and healing.
Rev. Adele Smith-Penniman
