Into Your Hands, I Commend My Spirit

Rev. Madeline greets the children and reads the line, "Into your hands, I commend my spirit," asking if it sounds familiar. The children identify that they have heard it in church services, in Wednesday night family compline, in a Bible reading Nick just read, and in stories where people say similar words, including Jesus. She asks what it means to give God one’s spirit, and the children suggest that God has the whole world and that it means connecting with God. Rev. Madeline affirms these ideas, explaining it is like giving God all of ourselves and remembering we can bring anything—upset, happiness, or worries—to God. She then invites the children to sing "Hallelujah."00:00 Welcome and Setup00:04 Familiar Prayer Line00:47 Where We Hear It01:18 What It Means01:57 Giving Ourselves to God02:22 Singing as Response
