Sunday Celebrations

Free Spirit weekly services are called Celebrations, and follow a relatively simple program:
# Welcome - the equivalent of a prelude, a small chorus sings a simple song welcoming attendees.
# Message - the equivalent of a sermon or homily, typically delivered by a Celebrant or Attendant.
# Reflection - a chime signals a short interval of silent meditation.
# Entracte - a brief performance involving bodily movement, such as dance or mime.
# Announcements - usually delivered by the Council chair, including an appeal for donations.
# Coda - the equivalent of a postlude, instrumental music to close the program.
Rather than sit in rows, most Local Gatherings arrange "café style" seating around small tables, encouraging more personal interactions before and after the Celebration. A crew of volunteers brings lunch into the meeting hall, and other volunteers collect donations.
