Benediction
(inspired by Luke 10: 38-42)
Go out into the world to serve God with love.
Be ready to laugh with delight at the good news God
has to offer you.
Make room at your table for unexpected guests.
When the work of discipleship leaves you weary or
frustrated,
rest in Christ’s presence and listen to what he is
saying.
And the blessing of God, Creator, Christ, and Holy
Spirit,
go with you today and always. Amen.
