As we prepare to leave
and embrace the challenges
of our lives and our world
let us ask for God’s blessing
May God bless us with wisdom
to care for the earth.
Amen
May God bless us with love
to bring forth new life.
Amen
In the name of God
the Maker of the whole world,
of Jesus, our new covenant,
and of the holy Spirit,
who opens eyes and hearts.
Amen
Go in peace and be witnesses of hope.
Amen
