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

Psalm 139 is one of my favorite psalms. I love the thought of God knowing me, watching me, and understanding me. It is a great comfort. It is like a warm security blanket. However, there are times when it makes me a little nervous. There are things I think, say, and do that I wish that God wouldn’t see. But the psalm says otherwise.

Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Elizabeth Kanerva

Listen church family and persevere in your faithful cultivation!
Weed and mulch, for what we say and do matters in this world.
Love with compassion and serve with humility and we will bear fruit.

Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Ivan Herman

Rather than letting headlines shape your outlook,
let God’s wisdom shape your path and your purpose,
its yoke is easy and burden light.
Eat it like honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
Its sweetness is good for your soul.
