During the worship service today the Belize Team was commissioned by the congregation. The highlight of the commissioning was the laying on of hands by the congregation and a commissioning prayer by Debbie Baughn, chairperson of the Missions Committee.

The anthem sung by the choir was Jesus, Send Us On Your Mission. A blessing and a challenge to us as a team and to all Christians who seek to serve as the hands and feet of Jesus. The words of the anthem are below. Thanks to Ruth Wakefield and the Sanctuary Choir for this moving anthem. It is a comfort to know that our church family has blessed us.

This afternoon at 2:00 the team assembled to make final plans and pack totes with supplies for the medical clinics. Many types of prescription and OTC medicines and all the other supplies to carry out a week of medical clinics were packed in totes and weighed to be within the 50 lb. limit for the airlines. Other totes were loaded with reading and eyeglasses that will be distributed by team members at the clinics.
