Benediction  
Stir up our hearts, Lord God, to prepare the way of your only Son. By his coming strengthen us to serve you with purified lives; through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Affirmation from the Psalms
Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who dwell in it! [8] Let the rivers clap their hands; let the hills sing for joy together [9] before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
~ Psalm 98.7-9
