As God’s own, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, and patience,
forgiving each other as the Lord has forgiven you,
and crown all these things with love,
which binds everything together in perfect harmony.
As you have been fed at this table, go to feed the hungry.
As you have been set free, go to set free the imprisoned.
As you have received, give.
As you have heard, proclaim.
And the blessing that you have received
from the Father, Son, and Holy Sprit
be always with you.
Grant us, Lord God,
the vision of your kingdom,
forgiveness and new life,
and the stirring of your Spirit,
so that we may share your vision,
proclaim your love,
and change this world
in the name of Christ.
Go forth in the name of the Lord.
This is God’s charge: We should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ,
and love one another, just as he commanded us.
Go forth remembering who you are and to whom you belong.

Call: And the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
be upon you and remain with you forever.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
and teaching them to obey everything that Christ has commanded you.
And remember, he will be with you always, to the end of the age.
God be in your head and in our understanding.
God be in your eyes and in your looking.
God be in your mouth and in your speaking.
God be in your heart and in your thinking.
God be at your end and at your departing.
In the shadow of Your wings I will sing Your praises, O Lord.
The Lord is my light, my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the refuge of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
In the shadow of Your wings I will sing Your praises, O Lord.
One thing I ask of the Lord, one thing I seek;
to dwell in the presence of my God, to gaze on Your holy place.
In the shadow of Your wings I will sing Your praises, O Lord.
I believe I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
O wait for the Lord;
Have courage and wait, wait for the Lord.
In the shadow of Your wings I will sing Your praises, O Lord
Keep alert, stand firm in your faith,
be courageous, be strong.
Let all that you do be done in love.
Lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called,
with all humility and gentleness, with patience,
bearing with one another in love,
making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
There is one body and one Spirit, just as we were called to the one hope of our calling,
one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all,
who is above all and through all and in all.
Let nothing disturb you, nothing frighten you;
all things are passing, God never changes!
Patient endurance gains all things;
to those who God possesses nothing is wanting;
alone God will suffice.
May the grace of Christ, which daily renews us,
And the love of God, which enables us to love all,
And the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, which unites us in one body,
Make us eager to obey the will of God until we meet again
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
May the Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.
May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you,
wherever He may send you.
May He guide you through the wilderness,
protect you through the storm.
May He bring you home rejoicing
at the wonders He has shown you.
May He bring you home rejoicing
once again into our doors.
See that you are at peace among the family of Christ,
my children, and love one another.
Follow the example of good men of old
and God will comfort you and help you,
both in this world
and in the world which is to come.
Whatever you do, in word or deed,
do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through him.
May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields and, until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
Peace of the running waves to you, Deep peace of the flowing air to you, Deep peace of the quiet earth to you, Deep peace of the shining stars to you, Deep peace of the shades of night to you, Moon and stars always giving light to you, Deep peace of Christ, the Son of Peace, to you.
