The Apostles’ Creed follows.

DELEGATE(S): Yes, and I pray that God will help and direct me.

LEADER: People of God, Will you support this Delegate in prayer? Will you pray for the National Convention?

CONGREGATION: We will.

The Congregation extends their hands in blessing.

LEADER: Delegate name(s), we bless you as you go forth in the name of God to serve us and all the people of God in the work of this convention. May the light of Christ shine in you. May the Spirit of Christ guide you. May God bless you in your travel, this work and in your homecoming.
