Description of Activity

Gather participants in a circle and welcome them. If someone volunteered last session to write words for this session’s chalice lighting, ask him/her to offer them as the chalice is lighted. If no one volunteered, invite participants to offer some spontaneous chalice lighting words or a blessing. You might ask, “What are some words we can say as we light the chalice today?”
