Chalice Lighting “A Community of Faith,” by Judith Quaries; read by Sandi Fowler
“At this hour in small towns and big cities, in single rooms and ornate sanctuaries, many of our sibling Unitarian Universalists congregations are also lighting a flaming chalice.
As we light our chalice today, let us remember that we are a part of a great community of faith.
May this dancing flame inspire us to fill our lives with the Unitarian Universalist ideals of love, justice and truth.”
