UUCT encourages members to explore and participate in the Global Prayer Program of the International Council of Unitarians and Universalists (ICUU). Members and Friends of the Church might wish to use these texts for:
- personal contemplation and meditation
- the start of activities with family and friends
- the beginning of committee and group meetings at the Church
Reflecting on these monthly texts reminds us that we are part of a world-wide movement. Members and Friends of UUCT should feel free to submit texts for this program to Lorella Thomas Hess at

A light that silently works in me,
Allows me to know the world in its entirety.
I don't know what it is or what it wants;
With awe I'll call it divine.

May this chalice we light represent us in front of you, oh Infinite Life.
May its stem be the steadiness of our faith, its cup our soul receiving you and its candle which burns the engagement of our life.
May the flame we are lighting be the spark of Divinity inside our spirit,
the unity of our hearts its warmth, our search for a true brotherhood of all human beings its ascension, the testimony of our obstinate hope its brightness.
Let the stem not wobble in difficulties, the cup not get filled with illusions, the candle not be exhausted by temptations. Let the flame never extinguish in renunciation but may it always be our lighthouse in our spiritual quest.
Amen

A golden thread binds us to all that has been and will ever be.
Here the tender soul yearns.
Here the greatest dreams are sighted.
Here the sacred flame burns.

We kindle the chalice flame, symbol of our gathered community, across faiths, across cultures, beyond borders.
May it lead us from the shadows into the light, from ignorance to wisdom, from untruth to truth, from exclusiveness to inclusiveness, from mortality to immortality.
May the flame be a symbol of warmth, kinship, wisdom, truth and liberty.
Khublei.
