May the Lord our God who unites us together in Himself
make clear to you the gifts you have received
so that you may contribute to the building up of His church.
That this church would be one
where brothers and sisters serve in gladness---
may it be so.
That this church would be one
where love is the source from which we build
as we lift each other up continually
to grow in faith and maturity in Christ---
may it be so.
That this church would be one
where the diversity in giftings among the people
would ultimately lead us to glorify God
and celebrate the creativity of our Maker---
may it be so.
That this church would be one of many communities
united around Jesus Christ,
pointing the world around us ever closer to His heart---
may it be so.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up His countenance to you and give you peace.
