Offspring of the Great Commission

The commissioning of teachers, September 13, 2015.

Today the church commissioned the pre-school and Sunday School teachers. During the brief ceremony the congregation was reminded of its shared responsibility to educate the young.

All of you are also called to nurture our children in the Christian faith and life. Will you now commit yourselves to care for our children, and to uphold the Sunday School teachers and parents, the pre-school teachers, staff and parents in their ministries?

We will. [btw, no other answers are acceptable]

All church commissions are offspring of the Great Commission of two thousand years ago:

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
