Benediction: Let's Stay On Track With God's Kingdom Work (based on Matthew 6:10)

God created the universe in goodness. Jesus taught us to work for the restoration of that original goodness; to strive to help God's kingdom to come here and now - as it is in heaven - by seeking peace, justice, and mercy for everyone.

May we be strong in faith and hope when other narratives attempt to derail us; ones that tell us to win at all costs, to see our fellow beings as competitors to be bested, or to value others solely based on what benefit we can derive from them.

May God keep us on track and dedicated to helping to bring out the best in everyone and everything.
