Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Emma Nickel

by Rev. Emma Nickel

God offers burning bushes and times of almost total silence.
Let there be a blessing in the boldness and the absence.
God urges sacrificial service and the acceptance of radical hospitality.
Let there be a blessing in the giving and receiving.
God gives love without end and calls forth our whole lives in return.
Let there be a blessing in being claimed by the Holy One and in returning our lives to God.

Rev. Emma Nickel
