Activity time: 10 minutes

Post the closing words so all can see them.

Spread out Blessing Cards, text side down, and invite each participant to take one. Then take a card and read your blessing aloud. Invite participants in turn to share their blessings aloud. Allow a pause between each blessing. Then invite participants to read the closing words in unison. Note: You may wish to save the closing words on newsprint for the workshops that follow.

Extinguish the chalice. Collect Blessing Cards for reuse.
