AUTHOR OF LIFE, HEALER OF THE NATIONS; GRANT US COURAGE TO FACE OUR TRIAL, GIVE US WISDOM TO FIND RELIEF, GIVE US FAITH TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND GRANT US YOUR SALVATION FOR JESUS CHRIST’S SAKE. AMEN

Commission & Benediction

Go now, and live as children of the light. Put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. Make the most of all God has given you and encourage one another in Christ.

And may God’s hand be open to you in kindness; May Christ Jesus welcome you into his joy; And may the Holy Spirit fill you with courage, vigilance and faithfulness.

Let us go in peace to love and serve the Lord, In the name of Christ. Amen.
