May the peace of Christ rest upon you so that God’s heart would be on display in your life.
May your heart be stirred by the image of Christ
who was obedient to the Father who sent Him
in every word and thought and deed.
May the Holy Spirit empower you
to embrace Christ’s example for your own life,
showing that you have been sent as He was sent
and you intend to live and love and speak truth as He did.
May we together as the church
accept the mission that we have inherited,
making Christ known through our lives
as we grow up into the image of our Savior.
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.
