Sending

Benediction: A litany of Resurrection

One:      Christ sends us forth into the world.

Many:   We will go, risk-taking for the sake of God’s beloved Creation.

One:      Christ sends us forth to heal.

Many:   We will dare to believe that we can be part of Earth’s healing.

One:      Christ sends us forth to live.

Many:   We will live awakened to the gifts and peril of our planetary home.

One:      And even when our hope fails, we can know that Christ’s body will not abandon us. Breathe in the Spirit of Christ and know the sacred power within and among us.

Many:   Hallejusah! Christ lives in us and all Creation
