Benediction
(inspired by Luke 10:
1-11)
Go
forth from this place refreshed and empowered
to
do the ministry to which God calls you:
Travel
lightly, for you carry within you all that you need.
Notice
God’s presence in simple, everyday experiences.
Whenever
opportunity arises, labor for the good of all.
And
the blessing and joy of God, our Creator, Healer, and Life-Giver
go
with you today and always. Amen.
