Commission and Blessing
We have experienced God's grace;
we have heard the words of life.
Now we are commissioned to do what we have heard;
we are called to serve in God's name.
Equipped with the assurance of God's presence,
we reach out to others.
Confronted by God's call, we seek the bond of unity.
We will praise God in our daily walk.
With every step, we remember God's faithfulness.
The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
—Numbers 6:24–26 NRSVUE
The peace of God goes with us;
we will praise God in all we do.
Amen
