Easter 4: Benediction

Here’s a benediction for the fourth Sunday of Easter.  It was written by Rev. Susan Blain, and posted on the Worship Ways website.

Benediction
May our Loving Shepherd
send us forth into the world
fed, protected, and strengthened
to set tables of justice and joy:
in Jesus’ name. Amen
