Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Dr. Glen Bell
by Rev. Dr. Glen Bell

Praise the Lord with the Lyre!
Make melody to God with the harp of ten strings.
Sing to God a new song!
Play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
For the word of the Lord is upright,
and all God’s work is done in faithfulness.
God loves righteousness and justice.
The earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.
— Psalm 33:2-4
God’s goodness is complete and free-flowing.
It swirls around and through all our dancing and song.
From the hushed Presence in the silence of each new morning
to the glory of all our glad shouts of praise,
God is in all and for all.
May the tender goodness of God,
the strength and power that heals our wounds and makes us whole,
bless you and fill you every day,
in the name of the Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer. Amen.
