Of the so many years I attended service (easily 23 years * 52 weeks = 1200 times), this the first time I heard the following benediction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May God the Father prepare your journey,<\/p>

Jesus the Son guide your footsteps,<\/p>

The Spirit of Life strengthen your body.<\/p>

The Three in One watch over you on every road that you may be fallen.<\/p>

Amen<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
