Part of Spirit of Life

UNISON CHALICE LIGHTING

We light this chalice in affirmation of each person and each day of life.

We gather to support each other in responding to the gift of life

and daily living with love for ourselves and for others.

We gather to explore our own experiences and learn from the experiences of others,

to draw on traditions and create new ways of seeking the sacred in the ordinary.

May our time together renew our spirits, deepen our community, and inspire us to lead lives of worth and dignity.

We light this chalice for the Spirit of Life.
