Activity time: 10 minutes

Post the closing words so all can see them.

Shuffle and set 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; provide a pause between blessings. Then invite participants to read the closing words in unison.

Extinguish the chalice. Collect the Blessing Cards for reuse.
