One: God shows mercy to everyone, from one generation to the next.
Many: God is strong and scatters the proud in their conceit.
One: God pulls the powerful down from their thrones and lifts up the lowly.

Sending Forth/Benediction - Danny Crego
One: 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. 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 forth and forevermore.
Many: In the season of Advent, let us not be closed to the new things God seeks to do in the world, and may we partner with God in the work of redemption. Amen
