Our message today is "Peace Be With You." It is based on Kurt Borgmann's sermon of the same name which he delivered to the Manchester Church of the Brethren back in 2014. 

Our hymns are "Thine is the glory," "Healer of our every ill," and "Go now in peace," which is fun sung as a round. Here are some lyrics: https://hymnary.org/text/thine_is_the_glory_risen_conquering, https://hymnary.org/text/you_who_know_our_fears_and_sadness, and for the last one, here:

Go now in peace, go now in peace. May the love of God surround you everywhere, everywhere, you may go. Go now in peace, go now in peace.
