Benediction: Hope For The Weak and Grace For The Weary (based on Matthew 11:28-30)

In times when we feel weak or discouraged, God's bottomless goodness and love offer us reasons to have hope. That hope can give us both the strength to carry on and a safe place to rest and recuperate in time.

When life's burdens feel heavy and like too much for us to bear on our own, God reminds us of others who can be the hands and feet of grace to us.

When we lean into living hopefully, purposefully, and with communitarian care; we are aligning with how God the Trinity - itself a community of love - has designed us to live and thrive.

May we live and love like that.
