Closing words
May we take with us
May we take with us some of the joy of this gathering…..
May we go forward with hope…..
May we live rightly, in peace with one another….
And may we know the blessing of God until we gather here again.
Amen.
Walk Bravely
Walk Bravely
Facing the truth
With goodness in your heart
And beauty in your actions
Closing blessing
May our inner life be nourished by our community.
And may our community be strengthened
by each person’s unique gifts.
May we honour the diversity of our spiritual journeys,
And help each other on the path.
Amen.
Closing blessing
Whatever is sacred to you, may it be a blessing to you.
May you be able to hold it lightly, like a bird in the hand,
So that it will always return to you when you let it go.
Whatever is sacred to you, may it be a blessing to you.
Closing blessing
O Beloved Community
Suffused with the Divine Presence
We will carry you in our hearts always.
Closing blessing
May the spirit of constant change
Be ever renewing itself in your hearts
Pruning, composting, and growing
That you may bear blossom and fruit.
Amen.
Closing blessing
Just as Darwin and Newton, Einstein and Hawking saw the world with fresh eyes and wondered at the mysterious but glorious universe of matter and of spirit, so may you behold the world with wonder and amazement.
Closing words
We have always believed – and we are right to do so – that we are free to make choices; and even if that belief is not absolutely correct and the freedom is limited, we have to go with it, because otherwise how could we influence society in the ways it needs to be influenced.
