Benediction

[CC1]

Num 6:24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:


Num 6:25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:


Num 6:26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

I didn't realize that this prayer was right out of the bible! Do any of you pastors pray this prayer at the benediction?

Naw. They are Pentecostal! Plus since this prayer is in the Old Testament it doesn't count. Only standards from the Old Testament count.
