Chalice Lighting “In Need of Healing” read by Sophia Lopez
By Maureen Killoran

Welcome, you who come in need of healing,
you who are confused, or have been betrayed.
Welcome, with your problems and your pain.
Welcome, too, your joys and your wonderings,
welcome your need to hope, your longing for assurance.
Instead of answers, here may you find safety for your questions.
Instead of promises, may you find community for your struggles,
people with hands and hearts to join you
in engaging the challenges and changes of our day.

Chalice Extinguishing read by Sophia Lopez

“The Broken World Awaits by L.R. Knost
Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things break. And all things can be mended.
Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally.
The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you.
