Benediction for the New Year
Go
in peace,
love
and care for one another in the name of Christ,
and
may the blessing of God
who
established heaven and earth
fill
your hearts and pour forth from you upon all people,
may
the blessing of the Lord
who
is born anew each Christmas time
call
you towards a new tomorrow;
and
may the blessing of the Spirit
who
refreshes and renews all creation
guide
and lead you as you enter the new year. Amen.
