Sending Forth and Blessing
(based on Philippians 4: 4-9)

One:     Go into the world showing a gentle attitude toward everyone.
Be joyful and thankful!
Fill your mind with those things that are good and deserve praise:
things true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honourable.
Put into practice
what you have heard here.
And may the God who gives peace be with each of you.

All:       We go in the peace of Christ
            to love and serve all creation.
