Sending Us Out


Send us now into the world in peace,
and grant us strength and courage
to love and serve you
with gladness and singleness of heart.


Father, send us out
to do the work you have given us to do,
to love and serve you
as faithful witnesses of Christ our Lord.


We humbly
beseech thee, O heavenly Father, so to assist us with thy
grace, that we may continue in that holy fellowship, and do
all such good works as thou hast prepared for us to walk in
.
 


Each of these post communion prayers reminds us what we are called to do after communion, after we leave our church...

"Let us go forth in the name of Christ to bring peace into broken relationships, healing to alienated persons, and justice into oppressive structures." Amen!
