Stacey Abrams, at the Unitarian Universalist General Assembly’s Ware Lecture, said this: “I imagine what we need and then I demand what we must have and I don’t do it alone because doing it alone means I will lose every time.”
Chalice Lighting
This is the flame we hold in our hearts as we strive for justice for everyone. This is the light we shine upon systems of oppression until they are no more. This is the warmth that we share with one another as our struggle becomes our salvation.
Call to Worship
Love cannot remain by itself – it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action, and that action is service. Whatever form we are, able or disabled, rich or poor, it is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing; a lifelong sharing of love with others.
– Mother Teresa
Affirming Our Mission
Together we nourish souls, transform lives, and do justice to build the Beloved Community.

Meditation Reading
The prayer of our souls is a petition for persistence; not for the one good deed, or single thought, but deed on deed, and thought on thought til day calling unto day shall make a life worth living.
– W.E.B. DuBois
