Benediction
(based on Mark 13:24-37)

And now go out into the world in peace.
Beware, keep alert, for we do not know the hour
when we will see the Son of Man coming in clouds
with great power and glory.
Be faithful in service and persistent in prayer;
be Advent people,
loving and serving the Lord. Amen.
