AVL Partnership Liturgy

Opening Prayer

Leader:

Let us begin with a prayer.

Heavenly Father, we gather in Your name to seek Your wisdom and guidance. We know that every good and perfect gift comes from You, and today, we seek Your divine assistance in hiring the best AVL integrator to enhance our worship and spread Your word more effectively. May we be aware of Your presence throughout this process. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Scripture Reading

Reader:

Let us turn to the Word of God for guidance.

Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV)

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."

Proverbs 16:3 (NIV)

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans."

Reflection

The scriptures remind us that all our efforts should be dedicated to the Lord and that He will guide us in our plans. As we search for an integrator, let us commit this task to God, trusting that He will lead us to the right team who will serve His purpose with excellence and dedication.

Prayer for Discernment

Leader:

Let us pray for discernment.

Almighty God, we come before You with humble hearts, seeking Your wisdom in our decision-making. Grant us discernment as we evaluate candidates for this crucial role. Help us to see beyond resumes and qualifications, to discern the heart and character of each candidate. Guide us to the team who will best serve our church, enhancing our worship and outreach through their skills and dedication. We trust in Your perfect will. Amen.
