Chalice Lighting  -  M. Maureen Killoran
also appropriate as a responsive Confession

(For an intergenerational service; read responsively)

For every time we make a mistake and we decide to start again:
     We light this chalice.

For every time we are lonely and we let someone be our friend:
     We light this chalice.

For every time we are disappointed and we choose to hope:
     We light this chalice.
