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

WAITING
Marta I Valentine

Step into the center
Come in from the margins
I will hold you here.

Don’t look back
or around
feel my arms,
the water is rising.

I will hold you
as you tremble.
I will warm you.

Don’t look out or away
Life is in here, between you and me.

In this tiny space
where I end and you begin
hope lives.

In this precious tiny space
no words need to be whispered
to tell us we are one.

You and I,
we make the circle
if we choose to.

Come, step in
I am waiting for you.

Meditation Reading

Trust is earned in the smallest of moments. It is earned not through heroic deeds or even highly visible adtions but through paying attention, listening, and gestures of genuine care and connection.

– Dr. Bene Brown
