Old Testament Lesson: 
Psalm 112:1-9
1 Praise the Lord.
Blessed are those who fear the Lord,
     who find great delight in his commands.
2 Their children will be mighty in the land;
     the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in their houses,
     and their righteousness endures forever.
4 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
     for those who are gracious and compassionate and
righteous.
5 Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
who conduct their affairs with justice.
6 Surely the righteous will never be shaken;
     they will be remembered forever.

7 They will have no fear of bad news;
     their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
8 Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear;
     in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.
9 They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor,
     their righteousness endures forever;
     their horn will be lifted high in honor.

Go Now in Peace
Go now in peace, never be afraid,

Go now in faith, steadfast, strong and true.
Know he will guide you in all you do.
Go now in love and show you believe.
Reach out to others so all the world can see.
God will be there, watching from above.
Go now in peace, in faith and in love.
