The Heart and Soul of UCE May 18, 2025 Rev Rosemary Morrison and the Pastoral Care TEam Order of Service Chimes Welcome and Announcements Land Acknowledgement Prelude Chalice Lighting We Light Our Chalice Imagining by Rev. Brigitte Bechtold We light our chalice, imagining What lies in the liminal space Between the flame and its circle What dwells in the interstitial space Between the cracks in our lives’ pavements And the threads of our days’ fabrics What meanings are hidden Between the words that we know And those we have yet to conceptualize What compassion flutters Between me and you and all of us Between the known and the mystery And we color it all with love Hymn 354 We Laugh, We Cry. by S.J. Denham Sharing Our Abundance Candles of Joy and Concern Pastoral Response Service Leader Reflection Rev. Rosemary Time for All Ages Gloria Krenbrenk and her Power Song! Reading Love after Love by Derek Walcott The time will come When, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving At your own door, in your own mirror, and each will smile at the other’s welcome, and say, sit here, Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine, Give break. Give back your heart To itself, to the stranger who has loved you All your lie, whom you ignored For another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, Peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life. Hymn 1023 Building Bridges.
