Sunday School is the church organized to reach people and teach the Bible for transformed living. Remember, as goes the Sunday School, so goes the church!

This example of a commissioning/dedication service for Sunday School workers emphasizes the "servant" role of workers.  The service outline can be adapted to include all other church workers by changing the titles in the responsive reading. Please share commissioning or dedication services you have used. stew5529@bellsouth.net
