Prelude
Chalice Lighting and Opening Words (by William F. Schulz)
Come into this place of peace
and let its silence heal your spirit;
Come into this place of memory
and let its history warm your soul;
Come into this place of prophecy and power
and let its vision change your heart
Introduction to the Service (Stacey Musulin)
Opening Hymn
#131 "Love Will Guide Us"
Words by Sally Rogers
Music: Traditional, arr. by Betty A. Wylder
Love will guide us, peace has tried us,
hope inside us will lead the way
on the road from greed to giving.
Love will guide us through the hard night.
If you cannot sing like angels,
if you cannot speak before thousands,
you can give from deep within you.
You can change the world with your love.
Love will guide us, peace has tried us,
hope inside us will lead the way
on the road from greed to giving.
Love will guide us through the hard night.

Prayer (by Rev. Marta I Valentin)
... Spirit of this World and Beyond
we strive to keep conscious
our interconnections,
our interdependence,
our trust in one another as human beings ...
In truth and with compassion
for we know
that what we send out to the universe
is what will return ...
Offertory
Sermon (Stacey Musulin)
Closing Hymn
#293 "O Star of Truth"
Words: Minot Judson Savage
Music: Finnish melody, adapt. by David Evans
O star of truth, downshining through clouds of doubt and fear,
I ask beneath thy guidance my pathway may appear;
however long the journey, however hard it be,
though I be lone and weary, lead on, I follow thee.
I know thy blessed radiance can never lead astray,
though ancient creed and custom may point another way;
or through the untrod desert, or over trackless sea,
though I be lone and weary, lead on, I follow thee.
Extinguishing the Chalice and Closing Words
Closing Circle
May faith in the spirit of life
And hope for the community of earth
And love of the light in each other
Be ours now, and in all the days to come.
