Blessings and Benedictions
Each Sunday, a Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) pastor offers a blessing and benediction for the week ahead. We hope that these will inspire you and nurture your faith.

Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Ivan Herman
Love.
Love without concern for yourself.
Love, and claim no hometown privilege.
Take pleasure when truth blossoms
because it has been nurtured by love.

Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Dr. Kevin Park
Remember that we are the body of Christ. Therefore, go and bring good news to the poor, proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, let the oppressed go free, and proclaim the year of the Lord. Amen.

Martin Luther King, Jr. reminds us that, “Only in the darkness can you see the stars.” In the shadow of winter cold we are grateful for glimpses of starlight.

Water carves steep plateaus, covers landscapes in a thick blanket of snow, envelops branches in ice and frost, and bathes shores with lapping waves.

Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Dr. Kevin Park
In this 21st year of the 21st century, in the second year of the COVID pandemic, when leaders, rulers, and governments are in power, during times of confusion, uncertainty, and anxiety, the word of God comes to us with hope and promise: We can be confident that the one who began a good work among us will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ our Lord. So do not fear, go in peace, live in gratitude, and continue to walk the faith knowing that our triune God accompanies us every step of the way. Amen.
