Opening Acclamation
The opening Acclamation states the entire journey’s destination: the Kingdom of the Triune God (Schmemann, For the Life of the World, 29).
Processional
The Processional, though not mandated in the BCP2019, begins the enactment of the journey: following Christ, represented by the processional cross, God’s people enter God’s presence.

Post-Communion Prayer, Benediction, and Dismissal
In the Post-Communion Prayer, the people thank God for his provision and ask for His blessing as they are sent back out into the world – a blessing which they then receive in the celebrant’s benediction (Luke 24:50; John 14:12), before beingsent out into the worldto serve Christ (Matt 28:16-20).
