St Paul Presbyterian Church of Johnston, Iowa

Go now into the strength of God who delivers to the one who calls us to humility, not pride, to love, not dominion, to resilience, not despair. May the same Spirit who gave David courage give you courage to face the giants in your life and in our world. May the love of Christ free you from hatred's grip and open your heart to reconciliation. And may the providence of God steady your steps, reminding you that the arc of history bends towards justice and that in the end, love wins. Go in peace, and may the victory of God go with you.
