What We Are Creating   Rev. R. Morrison. May 14, 2023

On this Mother's Day, please come and participate in this special service.  Yes, we will be honouring those who brought us into this world, as well as acknowledging the little ones who have been born recently.  Also, during this service, we will be celebrating our new settled minister, Rev. Rosemary Morrison and making a new covenant with her.  Rumour as it there may be cake afterward.

Prelude

Chalice Lighting
On the Brink by Leslie Takahashi
All that we have ever loved
And all that we have ever been
Stands with us on the brink
Of all that we aspire to create:
A deeper peace,
A larger love,
A more embracing hope,
A deeper joy in this life we share.

Extinguishing the Flame
The Call and Blessing of Creativity by Rev. Scott Tayler 

May the call of creativity arise again from within..
May your own creative unfolding leave you in awe.
May the beauty that has blessed you
 lead you to create beauty 
for those you love and those you do not know.
May the creativity that arises between us help to birth the world anew.
 
Benediction 

Carry the Flame

The Unitarian Church of Edmonton is a liberal, multi-generational, religious community.
We celebrate a rich mosaic of free-thinking, spiritually-questing individuals joined in common support and action.  We welcome diversity including diversity of beliefs from divine believers to humanists, from pagans to atheists and agnostics.  We believe in the compassion of the human heart, the warmth of community, the pursuit of justice and the search of meaning in our lives.

We gather with gratitude on traditional Cree lands that are now a part of Treaty Six and shared by many nations.   A treaty is an inheritance, a responsibility and a relationship.  May we be good neighbours to one another, good stewards to our planet and good ancestors to our children.
