We gather together to learn, to grow and to change
Help us to move into a deeper understanding of your truth.

Safe to ask for help
And safe to share our lives with you, our loving heavenly Father.

A Closing Blessing

("May The Road Rise Up To Meet You" is a traditional Irish blessing)

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.

the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Father, thank you for all the marvelous things you have done today.
Thank you for your love that you have revealed to us,
And for the love that we share together as your body.

We pray for all the words that you have sown into our hearts this day.
Watch over them, protect them.
May they take root and produce wonderful things,
Things of beauty and great blessings to many.
And as we leave this place now, thank you that you walk with us.
May we be alert to your promptings
And live in your endless love.
For yours is the kingdom, the power and glory
In this age and forevermore.

Amen.
