Lent, 2025 Worship Benediction
Friends in Christ, as you leave this place today, go with the assurance that God goes with you. May God’s love for you give you courage; may God’s grace transform you; may God’s vision for you disrupt the challenges before you; may God’s footsteps guide you; and may God’s holy mission for your life set you free, in the name of the Creator, + Redeemer, and Sustainer.
May 4, 2025 (Star Wars Day) Worship Benediction
As you go forth today, remember the words of a great spiritual leader: “Do or do not. There is no try.” When you are afraid, go anyway. When the dark side seems to have won, remember that rebellions are built on hope. And when you hear God tell you, “I love you,” do not be afraid to respond, “I know.” And may the triune God, who was, who is, and who is to come, Sovereign, ☩ Savior, and Spirit, light your way with resurrection dawn, now and always.
