Sharing the Peace of Christ
Beloved Church, we are one in Christ!
As we prepare to leave this time of worship, we offer to God our hopes and our dreams for a better world.
We offer to God ourselves, each of us part of God’s holy dream.
May God bless us and our dreams,
May we be part of it all as God brings love’s reign on earth as in heaven. Amen.
The peace of Christ, who unites us in love and discipleship, be with you all.
And also with you.
Go in the Spirit, who will sustain you and the Creator who will call you to love and serve others.
Amen and Thanks be to God.
