Prelude:    Richard Harper 

Chalice Lighting:   

Out of the flames of fear

We rise with courage of our deepest convictions

to stand for justice, inclusion and peace

Out of the flames of scrutiny

We rise to proclaim our faith

With hope to heal a fractured and hurting world

Out of the flames of doubt

We rise to embrace the mystery, wonder and awe

of all there is and all that is yet to be

Out of the flames of hate

We rise with the force of love

Love that celebrates our shared humanity

Out of the flames we rise

Opening Hymn:     Bring Many Names   NCH 11
