As we celebrate Theological Education Sunday,

May God our Creator remind you once more

That you have been transformed by the renewing of your mind,

And that this transforming and renewing teems over you ‘til the end.

 

May our Lord Jesus Christ,

Rabbi, Teacher, and Disciple-Maker

Give you yet another glimpse of heaven

through women uncovering coins and fathers seeking sons.

 

May God the Holy Spirit, our hallower and sanctifier,

Call alongside you a community committed

To comprehending grace and peace and compassion,

and carrying the Good News to next door neighbors near and far.

 

May it be so.  Amen.

Rev. Chip Hardwick, Interim Executive, Synod of the Covenant
