Intergenerational Worship and Prayer for Mission Experiences

Worship and prayer are at the core of how we live out mission experiences as acts of Christian faith and discipleship. In an intergenerational mission experience, we should be intentional about making sure all are engaging in worship and sharing their gifts. This guide has worship and prayer suggestions for all aspects of a mission experience: before (including commissioning and dedication), during (practices of prayer for life together on a trip), and after (in a service when we return to share with the community). There are also dedication prayers and liturgy that can be used for onsite mission experiences. Carefully consider how you will use these components in the planning and sharing of your mission experiences.
