Yesterday was my commissioning service at Messiah. It was inspiring to have hundreds of fellow believers present, and many fellow clergymen participating in the service. Messiah's children sang, as well as the adult choir. A reception followed (thanks, Lynette and others). Paula and I are grateful for all the planning and preparation for this sacred send-off!
The children sang an English and Swahili version of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" - video
