Thank you, Pat, and St. Anne's, for such a beautiful send-off. We are so blessed to have all of your prayers and support traveling with us. We can't wait to be your loving arms in the world.
COMMISSIONING OF ST. ANNE’S BELIZE MISSION TEAM
SUNDAY, MARCH 8, 2009
As Christians, our mission is to make God known to all people. We hear this in Jesus’ words: “I give you a new commandment , that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
We celebrate you and your devotion to the work ahead of you in Belize. Through the gift of your service, you show others the love that God has for all people. This is both a privilege and a responsibility, and by standing here you are publicly affirming your commitment to this work.
Let us pray: Almighty God, look graciously upon these people whom we now commission for your service. Give them your spirit, enrich them with your grace, and strengthen them for the tasks which lie ahead. Amen.
We rejoice to recognize you as representatives of this Congregation and we thank God for your dedication and your willingness to serve. We send you to Belize with our prayers and our support, and, with you, we renew our commitment to service in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.
- The Rev. Pat Markie
