UNISON CHALICE LIGHTING

We light this chalice in affirmation of compassion in human relations.

We gather to support each other in caring for one another

and in trusting in the transforming power of love.

We gather to explore our own experiences

and listen to the experiences of others,

to create and share and to bless one another.

May our time together renew our spirits, deepen our community,

and inspire us to lead lives of compassion and care

to build the common good.

We light this chalice for the Spirit of Life.
