God of Resurrection,
May we not live into the limitations of our bodies, but live into the unlimited power of the Spirit within us- your Spirit, O God.

Creator God,
As we leave this space, may we embrace being prophets, healers, and heralds of the Good News in Christ Jesus. Enkindle our hearts, so that others may see what you have done in us, and hear your call on their lives. This is our prayer. Amen.
