International Council of Unitarians and Universalists Global Chalice Reading
The International Council of Unitarians and Universalists (ICUU) distributes a new Chalice Lighting Reading each month. Congregations are invited to use it during worship services, and to introduce it as a Global Chalice Lighting.
This is a terrific resource for congregations that have an international vision, and wish to have a ritual element of that vision regularly included in worship services.
Global Chalice Lighting for September 2008
The International Council of Unitarians and Universalists announces the 61st in its monthly series of global chalice lighting readings. Congregations worldwide are invited to participate.All ICUU-affiliated groups have been asked to submit brief chalice lightings for the project. Every month, a reading will be distributed to Unitarian and Universalist congregations around the world. We ask each congregation to use the reading for at least one worship service in the designated month, identifying it as the “Global Chalice Lighting” for that month and naming the group which submitted it. Readings will be circulated in English and, where different, in their original language.
It is hoped that the ICUU Global Chalice Lighting Project will enhance the worship experience in our congregations and raise awareness of the international dimensions of our religious movement.
This Global Chalice Lighting, from the Religious Education Director of the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville, is to be used during September 2008.
We are safe.
We are together.
We are loved.
And so it will be.
