Today is a rather special day, it was the installation of Church School Teachers where we are officially recognized by the entire church body as the official sunday school teachers. Awesome stuff here! I'm official! Hee! =)

Installation of Church School Teachers

(The Church School teachers shall move forward towards the Cross)

Dear friends, we have gathered here in the presence of God to recognise those who have responded to His call to the work of teaching and administration in our Church School. As they now present themselves to God for consecration of their various tasks, it is fitting that we, the members of this congregation, should with them consecrate our lives to the work with which they have been entrusted, and that we should publicly assume our obligation to support them with our loyalty and prayers, seeking with them and for them such measure of God’s grace as may enable them to discharge their duties with faithfulness and godly fear.

Pastor: With God’s help, will you diligently serve in the Church School and faithfully instruct the Word of God to your students so that they may grow in knowledge and wisdom?

People: I will, God being my helper.

“Father, I prayerfully commit myself to the task which you have entrusted to me – that of striving to bring my students into maturity in Christ Jesus, I accept, by your grace, the responsibility of teaching them your ways, and of acting as an example to them as Jesus was to His disciples. Help me to carry out the following tasks which I now undertake as a Church School teacher:

i) preparation of Church School lesson faithfully and well;
ii) prayer for my students’ growth;
iii) care for my own spiritual growth through regular prayer, Bible reading and worship in church in order that I may serve them better.

Jesus, you are the Vine and we are the branches. Without you, we can do nothing.
I therefore ask you to use me as I give myself to you and to my students, to the
glory of your name.” Amen.

THE CHURCH SCHOOL TEACHERS KNEEL AT THE COMMUNION
RAILS AND THE PASTOR SHALL PRAY

“O God, who has sent your beloved Son to be unto us the Way, the Truth, and the Life: Give your blessings and guidance of your Holy Spirit to these your servants, and to us all, that we, looking unto Him, may set forward the teaching power of your church to the nurture of your children, the increase of your kingdom and the glory of your son Jesus Christ our Lord.” Amen.

The Charge and Blessing
I charge you by the help of the Holy Spirit that you discharge God’s word reverently, and faithfully to your students. May the Lord bless and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. Amen.


I can't wait to see what HE's got in store for me. Not my will but Yours be done.
