Words of Commission
As Christians united with Christ,
we are called to participate
in God’s reconciling work in our world.
We offer ourselves as servants of God’s peace,
who will listen with the ears and heart of God,
speak God’s forgiveness, mercy, justice and grace,
lead with God’s strong yet tender compassion,
and reflect God’s steadfast love and kindness.
