Hi Jolanda,
Glad you asked this question, as this is what I'm thinking about tonight! We plan to have a short commissioning service for Sunday School this Sunday morning, so I was wondering if you had a short litany that we could use as a prayer of invocation and blessing on our children and teachers. If you have anything on hand, I would really appreciate receiving it.
Thank you kindly--and may the Lord continue to bless your teaching ministry!

Hi Leon,
I do have a few leads for you on litanies. Here is a link to one that I wrote, and this forum post includes two responses from people who have written their own and would be willing to share. You can contact John Lee and Bert Slofstra at [email protected] and [email protected] to get a copy of the litanies that they use with their congregations.
Also, I just discovered that the new hymnal, LUYH, includes a full commissioning liturgy on page 855, and a prayer for commissioning leaders on page 869 that goes along with the song Here I Am, Lord. I was excited to hear that!
I hope this helps. Happy new Sunday school season!

Thank you for your prompt reply! And thank you for passing on your commissioning litany. I love it!
May I please adapt yours slightly for our purposes this Sunday?
Thank you for your ongoing support and encouragment!
Peace of Christ!
