I've asked one of our grant elders, Paul Meisner, to pray a prayer of commissioning over you all.

Wow, great to see everyone up here.

And I'm going to invite you as a congregation to extend your hands of commissioning and blessing on the staff that you see up here to the degree that you're comfortable and join me as I pray for each one and those that you represent who were unable to be with us this morning.

Let's pray.

God, we acknowledge that you are present in this place.

You are our God, one like no other.

And thank you for the freedom that we have in this country to gather, for the tools that are available to us, for the way that you continue to equip us to be those who grow.

Have you come to know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior?
