Filled with God’s grace for each other and speaking truth in love, may you go into this day to be transformed by the love God has for this world. May God’s dream for you and for your community of faith, be revealed as truth as you grow into Christ.

Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Erin Dunigan

May you honor your body as a temple of the Holy Spirit, recognizing that it is a vessel for divine wisdom and intuition. May you learn to listen, trusting that God speaks through your whole being, not just your intellect.

Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Dr. Andy Kort

And maybe we just drop them, and let them go, because in our dropping and in our letting go, we might better know the blessing of the One who fixes, cleanses, and makes all things new.

Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Rebecca Mallozzi

I appreciate the parts of Paul’s letters that tell the people what he’s praying for when he thinks about them. I can imagine, for a community of faith, it would be helpful to know exactly what Paul’s prayers are so they get a glimpse of his expectations for them. It also lifts up a teaching for them to grasp onto. Paul is praying for the Ephesians, that, with “the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may perceive what is the hope to which God has called you” (Eph. 1:18). What I wonder is how we who read these words today perceive the hope to which God has called us.

Do not be afraid,
Do not live in fear,
Do not let your heart be troubled.

Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Adriene Thorne

God of all people and every place, teach us the healing behavior of your peace and hope that we might look on our broken world and still glimpse the beauty of possibility. That we might behold nations torn by terror, hunger and fear and still discern the shalom you imagine for us. Make us brave enough to believe that another world is not only possible but on Her way. Gather the nations and let healing begin with us. In the strong name of Jesus, Amen.
