Words of Welcome & Chalice Lighting

This chalice is a beacon for the beloved community we are building.

May this be a time of strengthening.

May you feel held in this place of spiritual friendship.

There is a love that holds all like a golden river.

And so we take a breath together and feel that shared river.

We prepare a sacred place for the light.

Words of wisdom that were ever said on this planet reverberate still.

We prepare a place for each person’s unique way of knowing to be valued here. Your whole self is welcome.

This chalice is a beacon for the beloved community we are building.

May this be a time of strengthening.

May you feel held in this place of spiritual friendship

And feel your light welcomed as we join our lights together.
