Chalice Lighting by Jonald Johnstone; read by Edward Farley

When we can truly celebrate the diversity of contributions and talents offered by all people, we shall overcome hatred and prejudice and oppression.

When we can truly extend our hands to one another in loving acceptance, we shall overcome the past that haunts us now.

Living in peace and freedom, we shall overcome the wrongs that have happened and the debts unpaid.

Let us join together in that commitment to overcome.

Let us say together, Amen.

Extinguishing the Chalice: “Holy and Generous Love,” by Elena Westbrook;” read by Edward Farley

Go in hope, for the arc of the universe is long and we can bend it toward justice.

Go in courage, for together we have the strength to confront injustice in our daily lives and the larger world.

Go in love, because a holy and generous love is both the reason and the means by which we transform our lives.
