Joining Hands in Service: A commissioning service
The worship committee of the Christian Reformed Church of St. Albert prepared this commissioning service for the congregation as it faced a new year of challenges and opportunities.
This service reflects the great diversity of ways in which members of the congregation serve Jesus Christ: the banner that is constructed throughout the service provides a striking visual image of that diversity; the songs and instruments employed throughout the worship service are evidence of the musical talents represented in the congregation. Through song and readings from Scripture and from "Our World Belongs to God," the contemporary testimony of the Christian Reformed Church, the service teaches that we are empowered by the triune God to serve God, each other, and our neighbors.
