Closing Prayer
There is very little in the Bible about how the assemblies are to be structured or conducted. We do have one Scripture where we are told that after Jesus and the disciples had taken the Lords Supper they sang a hymn and went out (Mark 26:30).
The Church of Christ has traditionally ended its service with a closing prayer. I feel that’s a great tradition. What better way than to send God’s people out asking for His protection and safety. But would it be wrong to end with a song or a word of encouragement?
Many times after singing “Lord Be With You Till We Meet Again” or “God Will Take Care of You” that would be a great way to end the service. Or, maybe a word of encouragement, from God’s Word, as we are challenged to be God’s Messengers during the coming week.
