Today is our final workshop. We will spend time reflecting on our interfaith service project and what it means to be a Unitarian Universalist doing interfaith service work.

Ask a few volunteers to take turns reading lines from Marge Piercy's poem "To Be of Use," Reading 567 in Singing the Living Tradition.

Light the chalice.
