Dismissal: Go into the world with assurance, hope, and promise

Go into the world with assurance, hope and promise:

the grace of the Word of life rest upon you;
the love of the Source of life embrace you;
and the transforming power of the Breath of life
help, strengthen and surprise you,
this day and all your days. Amen.

--The Rev. Jeff Shrowder, The Billabong

Dismissal: Go now to follow the way of Jesus

Go now to follow the way of Jesus:
see others as he did;
dare to give freely as he did;
and to love unconditionally as he did.
Go, embraced by the Source of life, love and hope;
in the company of the Word of life;
encouraged by the Breath of life. Amen

--The Rev. Jeff Shrowder, The Billabong

Advent Dismissal

Celebrant

A star is shining. 

Angels are busy. 

Mary is pregnant. 

Joseph is packing. 

Advent is coming. 

It’s time to carry Christ’s light into the world. 

May God bless us with hope and wonder as we go forth.

All 

Thanks be to God!
