Description of Activity

Gather participants in a circle and welcome them. Invite a participant to lead chalice lighting if one is not already assigned. Light the chalice using participants' words or your own. You might ask participants to share with the group one hope they have concerning the assembly process of the photo-documentary project, and close the sharing with these words: We light this chalice with these hopes and with faith together.
