Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

Have you ever wondered why we seek God’s blessing? More specifically, have you ever thought about why we as your pastor’s raise our hands at the end of our worship services and pronounce a blessing on you? Have you ever wondered where this practice comes from or why we do it every Sunday? Does the Benediction time feel like we are Charlie Brown’s teacher going, “Wha, wha, wha, wha, wha?” Does it mean any more to you than the pastors saying, “That’s all folks. The service is over.” Today, I invite you to allow the Holy Spirit to come and teach us more about this part of our worship to our Abba Father so we will have a deeper appreciation for how God is blessing us each week.
