Here’s the benediction I gave after closing worship for the retreat I led on “Sacred and Social”:
May sacred times free you for God’s service
May sacred places set you in God’s peace
May sacred objects anchor you for God’s presence
May sacred activities place you in God’s hands
May sacred people you challenge and comfort you in God’s grace.
May the sacred in your life increase
and be filled with the holy God
overflowing into the world,
For we are blessed to be a blessing. Amen
