Commissioning Service

Commissioning Service - Friday 24th July 

Last night our adventure began with our commissioning service.
There was a large turnout including the Bishop, Nick Laurence from Hands at Work and Dean Pusey our diocesan youth coordinator.  
This was the first time the whole team had been together, and we bonded immediately over discussions of where we could use the toilet while in the community! 
We enjoyed music played by our scratch band, and sang song especially chosen by the room.
The service started with communion and concluded with an anointing where the Bishop crossed each of our hands with holy oil followed by the declaration of the rooms dedication to the cause. 
After the service we shared tea and biscuits with the congregation and then we reserved our seats for Saturday's flight, taking us another step towards the exciting leaving day.
