Chalice Lighting  -  Rev. Judy Welles

If you woke this morning with a sorrow so heavy
that you need the help of this community to carry it; or if you woke
with a joy so great that it simply must be shared, now is the time
for you to speak. You are invited to stand,
introduce yourself, and speak from your seat, and I will light a
candle for you. If you have an announcement to make, there will be
an opportunity for that during the coffee hour.

[We always end with the lighting of one last candle:]

For the joys and sorrows that
haven't been spoken, but which remain in the silent sanctuaries of
our hearts. These joys and griefs, spoken and unspoken, weave us
together in the fabric of community.
