God will continue to bless your dedication and labour.

Send us, O Lord, to the congregations, conference and areas of ministry to which you have called us. Give us courage and endurance. Build among us a unity that will outlast our differences. Enable us to love one another with the love of Christ.

Leader: O lord our God, you have blessed us to be a blessing. Bless these words of covenant that we have spoken today. Send us out with joy to do your bidding.
