OPENING WORDS

CHALICE LIGHTING1/2 We meet on Holy Ground. For that place is holy where we meet each other. Where lives touch, where love moves, where hope stirs. How strong is our need for one another Our silent beckoning to our neighbors, Our invitations to share life and death together,

CHALICE LIGHTING2/2 Our welcome into the lives of those we met, And their welcome into our own. Everyone: We kindle our chalice, a bowl of light, reflecting that Eternal Light which shines always around and before us. (Anonymous)

Come, O Sabbath day and bring peace and healing on thy wing, and to every weary one let a word of blessing come: Thou shalt rest. 1/3 COME O SABBATH DAY

Welcome Sabbath! Let depart ev’ry care of troubled heart. Now the daily task is done, let a word of comfort come: Thou shalt rest. COME O SABBATH DAY 2/3

Work and sorrow cast away! Sabbath is for prayer and play. With the rising of the sun, let a cheering message come: Thou shalt rest. COME O SABBATH DAY 3/3

1/2 Responsive Reading Often it is very hard for me to realize that I am one....The outer life seems utterly outer....The standard by which the outer is judged tends to be an artificial standard, made up of that which is convenient, practical, expedient.... The inward sanctuary is my sanctuary....It is the quiet place where the ultimate issues of my life are determined. What I know of myself, my meaning; what I know of God, His meaning; all this, and much more is made clear in my secret place....

2/2 Responsive Reading I determine to live the outer life in the inward sanctuary. The outer life must find its meaning, the source of its strength in the inward sanctuary. As this is done, the gulf between outer and inner will narrow and my life will be increasingly whole and of one piece. Everyone: What I do in the outer will be blessed by the holiness of the inward sanctuary; for indeed it shall all be one. Meditations of the Heart by Howard Thurman “The Outer Life and the Inward Sanctuary”

SOCIAL JUSTICE MOMENT

Meditation

Ritual of Joys and Concerns

Leader: May our joys and concerns surrounded by the healing waters of our beloved community be acknowledged here today. Congregation: May we share with each other the meaning in our lives. 1/2

Leader: May all these joys and concerns be enfolded in the warmth of this community. Congregation: And may that warmth extend in sympathy and compassion to all who are hurting in our wider world. 2/2

Calm soul of all things, Make it mine to feel, Amid the city’s jar, That there abides a peace of thine I did not make and cannot mar. The will to neither strive nor cry, The power to feel with others, give. Calm, calm me more, nor let me die Before I have begun to live. CALM SOUL OF ALL THINGS 1/1
