Blessings and Benedictions

Each Sunday, a Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) pastor offers a blessing and benediction for the week ahead. We hope that these will inspire you and nurture your faith.

Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Dr. Andy Kort

Blessed are those who recall that they are loved. Blessed are those who remind others that they too are loved. May you be blessed.

Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Rebecca Mallozzi

I got into quilting sometime in 2007. It was something my mom did and I always swore I couldn’t (wouldn’t) quilt because I didn’t have the patience. And then I decided I wanted to try something and I was absolutely hooked. I loved picking out fabric and learning how to cut fabric to make the blocks needed for the project. Like most hobbies, my skills grew as I learned more things. Recently, I’ve been reading more about the stories behind certain quilt blocks. Most traditional quilt blocks have names (there are variations of the themes, too).

Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Jeff Sockwell

Sacred twilight, gracefully giving way to the rising of the morning sun,

Unfolding the gift of a new day, revealing the glory in all creatures.

Awakening the soul, sounding the eternal, rekindling hope.
