Resurrection Sunday: A 31-day Lenten Devotional Series by Rev. Dave Brown
Exodus 19:9-15
From time to time, I have had the privilege of participating in an installation service for a new pastor in a church. It is a joyous but also a solemn occasion. In it, a charge is given to the pastor and another to the congregation. A biblically based message is given and then a prayer is offered in which the elders place hands on the new minister and pray over him. At the end of the service, the new pastor gives a blessing to the people he will lead.
