  • The left hand of a person with brown skin is resting, palm-up, on a patch of green grass that fills the frame of the photo. A portion of a map is superimposed on the hand, but not the grass, giving the impression that the map has been drawn or tattooed on the hand.
    May this flame remind us of the connections that bind us to Unitarian Universalists around the world…

  • The Rock of Gibraltar, seen from the air, at roughly the same height as the summit. On the right we see the mountain’s steep vertical face of nearly-bare limestone, and on the left we see a 45-degree slope, mostly covered with green trees and shrubs, that leads to the summit. At the summit there are radio towers, and near the summit we see part of the ancient fortifications.
    As the world shifts beneath us, we seek steadiness…

  • A small bird, with a mostly-yellow chest and blue, white, and black head, clings to a rusty vertical chain with links about one-fifth the size of the bird.
    As we light this chalice, let us remember those who came before us: our LGBTQ+ ancestors.

  • Against a black background, a match held horizontally ignites. Smoke surrounds it, lit with blue light so that it is visible against the background.
    We kindle light, and with it, possibility…

  • Frederick Franck’s sculpture “Seven Generations.” The sculpture consists of six consecutively smaller metal sheets standing upright in a straight line. The outer edge of each dark gray sheet is in the form of a simplified human silhouette, but inside each sheet there is a smaller cutout in the same shape, through which the next sheet is visible. The smallest sheet does not have the interior cutout, but instead has a red shape representing generations yet unborn.
    Each Sunday we light the chalice of our religious heritage. We do this for our ancestors… We do this for our children… We do this for ourselves…

  • Against a black background, a the outline of a heart shape made by a person moving a pink sparkler while the camera’s shutter is open for a long exposure.
    With the lighting of this flame let us shine upon the hearts of all those who suffer, who yearn, and who crave the joyful noise of community–all Beings, not one left behind.

  • The Milky Way in the night sky, with a bright star or planet slightly below it.
    Hope resides in the promise that love can always expand, always meet us, always teach us to cast down the mighty, raise up the broken, and rekindle the truth of our interdependence.

  • Cracked safety glass with a spider-web shatter pattern, with light reflecting off some of the surfaces.
    The chalice is a symbol of our faith: Like our faith, it is not magic nor is it mysterious. We light it as a reminder of what we share as a community and of who, each of us, is called to be.

    In this circle, we honor the courage it takes to live openly, the softness that sustains us, and the joy and power that grow when we gather.

    We are bound for freedom, building on foundations laid before us.

    Fire lifts us up and invigorates us with purpose, while Water helps us settle down into being.

  • A white woman with long reddish-brown hair holds an iPhone up to her face with two hands, perhaps taking a photo. The phone blocks most of her face from view, except for the corners of her sunglasses. Behind her, blurry, we see a mostly empty street or plaza.
    A call to worship is secretly a call to focus our attention. Choosing to focus our attention is countercultural.

  • A low-angle shot of a wet gutter and curb in a city at nighttime. We see the colorful, out-of-focus lights of cars, traffic light, and building windows, as well as their reflections on the damp ground.
    Not every sanctuary has walls—some are stitched together from longing, kindness, and sheer survival.

    You deserve a place that welcomes your becoming, that knows your fire is not too much, your silence not too little.

  • Against a deep black background, swirls of smoke are illuminated by red and purple lighting, creating an abstract pattern.
    This ritual of our faith reminds our subtle-and-crashing-about beings that we are part of a collective— a community of care and connection, courage and questions, scared and sacred together.

  • A low-angle view of the gray paving stones on a street. The stones are foreshortened vertically, so we see two dozen or so rows of them, each row containing three or four stones. The stones are rough-hewn and of varying shades of gray.
    ...we don’t know, can’t anticipate...the paths, unexpected, that open before us.

  • A black-and-white photo of an older person carrying a heavy bucket uphill on a dark-colored road next to a whitewashed stucco wall. The person is wearing sandals and a calf-length sleeveless dress made of a diamond-patterned fabric. They are stooped over and walking away from the camera, so all that can be seen of their head is some curly grey hair. They are carrying the bucket with their left arm, and their right arm is bent with the hand at their right hip.
    We don’t have to impress or convince or win over. We don’t have to know the words. It’s okay we didn’t read the book, or pass that class, or carry that title, or meet that mark. We don’t have to be anything but who we are.
