Rededication Ceremony

Setting: dark
Equipment: 11 candles (lit)

Leader: We know our promise and our law. We recite them often. I am going to ask each of you a question. In answer, I want you to blow out your candle.

What would the world be like if no one tried to serve God or country?
What would the world be like if no one helped anyone?
What would the world be like if no one was honest or fair?
What would the world be like if no one was friendly or helpful?
What would the world be like if no one was considerate or caring?
What would the world be like if no one was courageous or strong?
What would the world be like if no one was responsible?
What would the world be like if no one was respectful?
What would the world be like if no one used resources wisely?
What would the world be like if no one tried to make the world a better place?

Our world would become a very dark place.

I'm going to ask each of you another question. In answer, I want you to say, "yes" and relight your candle.

Will you try to serve God and country?
Will you help those in need?
Will you be honest and fair?
Will you be friendly and helpful?
Will you be considerate and caring?
Will you be courageous and strong?
Will you be responsible?
Will you be respectful?
Will you use resources wisely?
Will you make the worked a better place?

This is how we brighten our world.
