Scripture Dismissal May the peace of God guide us. Amen. May God bless us in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Ephesians (2:13, 16-18) Christ has made peace between Jews and Gentiles, and he has united us by breaking down the wall of hatred that separated us. On the cross Christ did away with our hatred for each other. He also made peace between us and God by uniting Jews and Gentiles in one body. And because of Christ, all of us can come to the Father by the same Spirit. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Collect Let us pray that there will be harmony in our Church and our world today. (pause) God of love, bring about understanding and peace among the followers of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
