Members and their Children/Youth: Rev. Wendy and Rev. Lynn, will you speak truthfully to us with courage and care; minister with us; and set forth, by word and example, the principles of our faith? Will you nurture our spiritual growth, teach us and learn with us, celebrate the many blessings of life together, and invite us into lives transformed by compassion, shaped by justice, and healed by love?

Rev. Lynn & Rev. Wendy: We will. Now, we ask these questions of you. Will you join us in the journey of ministry; teaching, learning, and caring with one another; working for justice, living with compassion, and healing through love? Will you encourage our continued spiritual growth and personal renewal, as well as your own? Will you honor our co-ministry, avoiding triangulation, affirming each of our gifts and our call to serve together?

Members and Children/Youth: We will. We honor this as a mutual commitment to relationship. We respect your freedom of the pulpit guided by compassion and conscience. Partner with us in ministry. We trust you to lead us in living out our mission, within and beyond our walls, with passion and curiosity, grounded in Unitarian Universalist identity and peace. As Members, children, and youth of this congregation, we hereby install you, Rev. Wendy Bartel and Rev. Lynn Gardner, as our co-ministers!

Today, a year later, we are grateful for this calling, for you, in this congregation, and our continued learning together. How are we doing with our shared promises, our shared covenant?
