Minute for Mission: Young Adult Volunteer Commissioning Sunday

Posted

On the last day of Young Adult Volunteer (YAV) orientation, we are sent off to be commissioned at churches in the area. Several churches in the area agree to host small groups of YAVs for worship where we are commissioned for our year of service, followed by a meal and conversations.

The relationship was fostered through Lehigh Presbytery’s Worldwide Ministries mission efforts.
