Description of Activity

Gather participants in a circle and welcome them. Invite volunteers to offer chalice lighting words. If there are no volunteers, use the words below, which are a variation of the chalice lighting words from the first session of the curriculum.

We light this chalice with thanks that we are here together able to joyfully share the work of our faith together.
