4.介紹
（1）本人願望和家人支持

5.陳明
親愛的弟兄姊妹們, 既然聖靈與我們的心同證鄭弟兄是聖靈親自興起的一個合適的長老人選，況且，鄭弟兄已經在本教會擔任長老有6年以上，07年休息一年以後又擔任了兩年多。今天教會再次委任是為了糾正兩年前一個行政上的疏忽，經教會查考，他並無信仰、道德和基督徒操守方面的過犯。教會理當按照聖經的原則和章程的規定，規規矩矩地按著次序行事，恭敬、慎重地來舉行委任儀式。
6.誓約詢問
親愛的鄭日耀弟兄，你即將要再次被委任為本堂的長老這一聖職，我現在要在神和他的眾子民面前問你幾個問題，請你誠實地回答：
（1） 你是否願意接受長老之聖職，忠於神，忠於聖經和教會的信仰，遵行聖經真理，傳揚福音，建立教會？
回答：蒙主的憐憫，我願意！
（2） 你是否願意遵守北歐華人教會《章程》，順服教牧團的屬靈帶領和長執會的行政規範，按照本堂的異象和價值觀，與眾同工和弟兄姊妹一起謙卑服事神，服事教會和神所託付的群羊，努力完成長老的職責？
回答：蒙主的慈愛，我願意？
（3） 你是否願意與神建立親密關係，靈修、禱告、讀經，效法大牧者耶穌基督的榜樣，過聖潔的生活，在神和人面前存無愧的良心，並在家庭、教會、社會生活和工作中榮耀父神，為主作美好的見證？
回答：蒙主的大能，我願意！
7.按手之例
既然你在神和教會面前當眾表示你願意，我要為你按手禱告，以此委任你為主聖教會的長老：
按手禮文：鄭日耀弟兄，我要奉聖父、聖子、聖靈的名，委任你為北歐華人基督教會奧斯陸福音堂的長老，願歷史歷代感動普世教會眾長老的靈加倍的臨到你的身上，使你大有膽量，為主捨命；願大牧者我主耶穌基督和他眾僕人的愛心、信心、盼望和忍耐激勵你，使你忠心事主，牧養群羊；願聖靈賜你百般的恩賜和能力，使你大有能力，拓展天國；願神對他僕人所應許的祝福，眾同工和眾弟兄姊妹們的祝福，以及神所為愛他之人所預備的永遠的福氣伴隨你和你的家人，使你忘記背後，努力面前，向著標杆直跑。
懇求全能的父，賜福給願意為你奉獻的這個僕人，求主賜他智慧聰明，能按照父神的旨意，牧養、管理主的教會。又求主賜能力，使他在信心、愛心、忍耐，言語、行為和清潔上，都能做信徒的榜樣。求主憐憫他的軟弱，賜大能剛強他，使他從今天被委任之日起，忠心事主，盡心盡意愛神、愛人。使得弟兄姊妹因他的工作信心得到堅固、愛心得以成全，願榮耀歸於聖父、聖子和聖靈三位一體的神，直到永遠。阿門。
8.大家代禱
請所有願意為鄭弟兄禱告的弟兄姊妹站起來同聲祈禱，請曾傳道最後結束。
9.宣告
親愛的鄭日耀長老，我們已經按照聖經的教導，《章程》的規定，委任了你為本堂長老。你長老的任期是三年，可連任一次，一年以後，可再被委任。長老即監督，負責維護信仰，維持秩序和紀律；協助並與牧師傳道人搭配事奉，傳揚神的話語和牧養教會；在牧師、傳道人出席時，確保其職務之執行。同時，你在擔任長老一職期間，也是教牧團當然的成員。現在我奉主的名宣佈，從今天開始，鄭日耀弟兄就是本教會的長老。讓我們為神的揀選和设立的长老開心鼓掌！
10. 歡迎鄭長老
（1）教牧團：我代表教牧團歡迎你再次回到我們當中一起服事主，服事神的教會。
（2）會友代表歡迎（陸海雲弟兄）：彼前 5:1 “我這作長老、作基督受苦的見證、同享後來所要顯現之榮耀的，勸你們中間與我同作長老的人： 2 務要牧養在你們中間 神的群羊，按著 神旨意照管他們；不是出於勉強，乃是出於甘心；也不是因為貪財，乃是出於樂意；3 也不是轄制所託付你們的，乃是作群羊的榜樣。4 到了牧長顯現的時候，你們必得那永不衰殘的榮耀冠冕。”
（3）長執會歡迎：馬碧君姊妹
11.勸勉弟兄姊妹（大家讀經）
a.帖前 5:12 弟兄們，我們勸你們敬重那在你們中間勞苦的人，就是在主裏面治理你們、勸戒你們的；5:13 又因他們所作的工，用愛心格外尊重他們；你們也要彼此和睦。
b.提前 5:17 那善於管理教會的長老，當以為配受加倍的敬奉；那勞苦傳道教導人的，更當如此。…… 5:19 控告長老的呈子，非有兩三個見證就不要收。 20 犯罪的人，當在眾人面前責備他，叫其餘的人也可以懼怕。
c.約 12:26 若有人服事我，就當跟從我；我在哪里，服事我的人也要在哪里；若有人服事我，我父必尊重他。
12. 鄭長老感言
13.主禱文
我們在天上的父，願人都尊你的名為聖。願你的國降臨。願你的旨意行在地上，如同行在天上。我們日用的飲食，今日賜給我們。免我們的債，如同我們免了人的債。不叫我們遇見試探，救我們脫離兇惡。因為國度、權柄、榮耀，全是你的，直到永遠，阿們。
14.祝福
民 6:24 ‘愿耶和华赐福给你，保护你；25 愿耶和华使他的脸光照你，赐恩给你； 26 愿耶和华向你仰脸，赐你平安。’ 4Mos6：24 Herren velsigne deg og bevare deg! 25 Herren la sitt ansikt lyse over deg og være deg nådig! 26 Herren løfte sitt åsyn på deg og gi deg fred!
