Speaker 1: And now beloved.
Speaker 1: Imagine this peace moving outward, beyond yourself, beyond these walls, flowing from you into your family, into your neighbors and into the whole earth, and into the whole earth.
Speaker 1: See this peace embrace the weary, the brokenhearted, the forgotten.
Speaker 1: See this peace soften the places of conflict and division.
Speaker 1: You are not separate from any person In Christ.
Speaker 1: We are one body, one spirit, one life in God.
