Benediction

(based on Genesis 28:13-15)

As we go from here, hear again the promises of God,

made long ago to our ancestor Jacob,

and still true for us today:

I am the Lord your God,

the God of Abraham and Isaac.

Know that I am with you,

and will keep you wherever you go.

I will not leave you

until I have done everything that I have promised.

Let’s go from here

in the assurance that our faithful God goes with us.
