Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Amantha Barbee
by Rev. Dr. Amantha Barbee
Go now into the world with the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
Go now into the world with the mercy and grace of God.
Go now into the world with the enormous love of Christ Jesus.
As we go out, we remember the light in the midst of darkness, joy in the midst of sorrow, and courage in the midst of fear.
All of this is possible with Christ by whom all things are possible. Hold onto the promise of God knowing that we are more than conquerors.
Be relentless in your love, your fight for justice, your truth, your care and empowerment for the poor, and your commitment to true life.
Go now into the world in peace and serve the Lord.
