The Grand Finale of The Service was a procession with congregants dressed in national costumes bearing their country’s flag.

The pageant was accompanied to a recording of “In Christ Alone.”

The procession was prefaced by a reading of The Great Commission (Matthew 28) where the Risen Lord mandated that we go into all the world and carry the good news of The Gospel.
