  • A chalice with the word Love over the flame, with six outstretched swirls that create a circular space within them. Together, they form a six-petal flower shape and alternate in color between goldenrod and dark pink. Each contains one of the six UU shared values, printed in a modern font. Clockwise: Transformation (aqua), Equity (bright green), Pluralism (red), Interdependence (dark blue), Justice (goldenrod), and Generosity (dark pink).
    … Love is not only at the center but also the opening that invites us to lament, celebrate, and care.

  • A close up of a green palm plant front, with the stalk symmetrically dividing its many green leaves.
    Thousands of years ago people in an ancient city sang the songs of their hearts.

  • An overhead view of a person holding a small globe in their cupped hands. We see the brim of their blue-and-white hat and a foreshortened view of their jeans-clad lower legs and their black shoes; their hands, with the small colorful globe, are visible from our point of view because they stick out far enough to be seen below the hat’s brim. We also see several squares of the sidewalk beneath their feet, decorated with children’s chalk art.
    Agape love—radical, quiet, boundless, unconditional—is the love we have for God, the Universe, the Interconnected Web, for whatever words for Spirit make your soul sing.

  • The famous “blue marble” photo of the Earth from space taken by the crew of Apollo 17. Africa, the Arabian peninsula, Madagascar, and Antarctica are visible behind some cloud cover, as well as the Indian Ocean and the South Atlantic.

  • A black-and-white photo of a large adult hand, open and facing upward, with a lit tea light in its palm.
    As we light this chalice, may each breath remind us of the sacred rhythm of life, the pulse of creation, and the power we hold to shape the world around us.

  • A long-exposure photograph showing a trail of sparks in the shape of a heart, against a background that is mostly darkness. The person holding the sparkler is just barely visible as a reddish blur behind the sparkler’s trail, which repeats the heart shape four or five times in roughly the same location.
    Love begets love, and it is love that lights our chalice.

  • An aerial view of a public park in autumn. The main feature is a large circular area, perhaps hundreds of yards across, whose perimeter is marked by large trees. The circle is divided by walking paths into eight equal sections, meeting at a very large tree in the center of the circle.
    We join together in solidarity as a covenanted people, who are drawn together by the promise of connection and the mysterious pull of the unanswerable.

  • At night, from the vantage point of a dark stretch of beach, there are three light sources visible: On the left there is a lighthouse, shining bright streams of light in several directions; on the right, the moon glows behind a light cloud cover; and in the middle, we see fainter light from several houses farther down the coast. The foam from the sea is also visible, and shows the shoreline stretching in a straight line from the lower right of the photo to the houses in the middle of the photo.
    We cannot know what all the year may bring, and would we heed the prophecy if we could?

  • Rays of sunlight stream down through a break in the cloudy sky, showing green plants and trees on mountains that otherwise look dark.
    Let beauty in. Let beauty in like waves lapping on the shore, covering the beach and soaking the sand like an embrace.

  • Two fireworks exploding in a deep black sky. The two explosions each take the shape of a dandelion, with streaks of white light coming out of a colorful center. The firework on the left is pale green, with red at the center; the one on the right ranges from yellow in the center to red and purple at the edges.
    Rejoice! May this time of worship celebrate what we know at our core.

  • In the foreground there is a mostly leafless sapling, standing in a field of brown grass. In the distance, at the far edges of the field, there much larger trees, still with green leaves.
    Justice is our prayer. We affirm in covenant with the Beloved Community that is possible.

  • A murmuration of birds, seen from a distance. The birds form a black cloud of varying density, seen against a sky streaked with clouds. The clouds near the horizon show a touch of red from the rising or setting sun.
    May our time together honor all the hopes we hold within; may our time together bless us with the gifts of inspiration, comfort and renewal.

  • Looking from inside a room through a set of four tall arched windows, we see a garden with some tall purple salvia-like flowers. Beyond the garden a wide grassy field stretches to the horizon, where there are trees and hills.
    There is no separation, here, of the sacred from the profane. No setting apart from the natural world.

  • A glass ball, held in a person’s hand at the sea shore, acts as a lens and shows an inverted image of the sea and the sunset sky. The image in the glass ball is sharp and in focus; the actual sea and sky, visible around the ball, is out of focus.
    As we light this chalice, we kindle the spirit of the great turning: the movement for justice alive in this nation today. May we feel it in our bones, and in the stillness of this hour, may we sense it calling our name.

  • Four people celebrating with arms raised, seen in silhouette against the sky. The sun is centered behind them, and the sky’s colors range from blue to pink.
    We are whole and holy; we are loved beyond all measure. And in our refusal to accept anything less, may we know we are rooted in the infinite divinity.

  • A lily blossom, with pale violet leaves and yellow stamens, floats in a pond. Our view is from directly above, and in the water around the blossom we see the reflection of the concentric circles of the frames supporting the glass roof of a greenhouse.
    We light this flame to remind us: Love is the center. As we grow and connect, mature and deepen: Love is our center. When the light of truth burns all else away: Love endures.

  • Against a uniform dark background, a bright yellow light shines in the upper left of the image. Rays of light and lens flare effects stream from the central light.
