• Tea light candles (one per participant and leader)
• Altar or centering table
• Cloth for covering altar or centering table
• Chalice and candle
• Matches or lighter
• Optional: Singing the Living Tradition or other songbook (at least one copy; preferably one per participant)

• Set tea light candles around the base of the chalice, one for each participant and leader.
• Select a familiar song or hymn for the group to sing together. If you do not have songbooks for each participant, write the lyrics on newsprint. If you have a guitarist or piano player in the group you may wish to arrange for musical accompaniment.

Gather participants around the chalice. Light the chalice (if it is not still lit) and a tea candle, and express gratitude for the group and what has been learned.

Invite each participant to light a candle and share something she/he has learned or would like to say to the group.

Invite everyone to sing a familiar song or hymn. Distribute songbooks or post the lyrics.

As you extinguish the chalice, read the following closing words:

May our efforts here fuel the fires of connection in this world. May our individual efforts take us one step closer to creating a world of inherent worth and dignity for every person, beginning right here with our partners. Blessed be; may it be so; amen.
