May the blessings of the saints and angels be upon you, dear pastor of the UCC Church. May the light of Christ shine brightly through your words and actions, and may the Holy Spirit guide and inspire you always.

May your heart be filled with joy and your soul be nourished by the love of your congregation. May your leadership be wise and your compassion be endless, as you shepherd your flock through the ups and downs of life.

May you be surrounded by the beauty of God’s creation and the comfort of God’s grace. May you be strengthened in faith, hope, and love, and may you continue to inspire all those you touch with your kind spirit and generous heart.

May the road rise up to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, And the rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
