Closing Worship 3
Candle lighting and Singing: I Love You Lord
Luther’s Evening Prayer (say together):
We give thanks to you, heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ your dear son, that you have graciously protected us today. We ask you to forgive us all our sins, where we have done wrong, and graciously to protect us tonight. Into your hands we commend ourselves; our bodies, our souls, and all that is ours. Let your holy angels be with us so that the wicked foe may have no power over us. Amen.

Closing Prayer (say together):
Lord God,
You alone are the Great Healer.
When my mind and my body are weak,
I look to you for strength and reassurance.
Surround me each day with the presence of your love and compassion.
Quiet my heart so I may know your goodness, and be filled with your peace.
Heal me, Lord according to your plan for my life.
This I pray through Jesus Christ, my Lord. Amen
Lord's Prayer
Benediction: Now may the God of Hope fill you with all peace and joy and believing, so you may be filled with hope through the power of the Holy Spirit
