Commission and Blessing

God has placed us in the vineyard
not as owners, but as loving caretakers.
The grace of God sustains us;
the Spirit rouses us to loving service.
God met us when we gathered for worship;
he goes with us as we leave to serve.
We are amazed that God seeks our service;
we will exalt his name among the nations.

The Benediction

Amen
