For A Time Of Crisis CoB Logo
By the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break upon us,
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the way of peace. Luke 1: 78-79

Benedictions

A benediction
by Carol Wise

May God deny you an easy peace,
and grant you instead, passion,
a revolutionary passion that spills over into the world
in acts of compassion and love, justice and integrity.
Go in the spirit and way of Christ,
who is our strength, our passion, and our true peace. Amen.
