Can you take on the Challenge?? • Can we forgive those whom we have conflicts with? • Can we be a welcoming community? • Can we offer peace? • Can we be sharing? • Can we accept everyone?
The Eucharist • “Let us go, now, in peace to love and serve the Lord.” • Dismissal Rite • A main rite that includes the conclusion of mass.
