On Sunday evening, we gathered in the Sanctuary at BRC with about 50 of our supporters for our Commissioning Service. Rich, the pastor or BRC, placed his hands on each of us, and prayed this prayer...
As you embark on this journey,
may you be blessed by the Father's immense love for you;
may you allow yourself to be taught by all that Jesus, your Master and Teacher, has prepared for you to learn;
and may you experience the thrill of being led by the Holy Spirit, as you obey his voice. Amen.
It was great to hear each person on the team spoken to by name as Rich gave them their blessing. I am already grateful for what God is doing for each of us on this team. I'm looking forward expectantly to seeing how all of the elements that Rich spoke of in this blessing will be fulfilled.

Scripture Focus for 2007
Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:9-17
