Commission & Benediction

(based on Matthew 14:22-33)

God calls us to step out in faith,

to follow where He leads

even if what He calls us to do seems impossible.

So let’s go from here with courage,

trusting in God’s presence and power,

and eager to do God’s will.

And may the blessing of God,

Father, Son and Holy Spirit,

be among you and within you

wherever you find yourself this week.
