On Saturday, June 6, 2026, we were privileged to experience a special evening in the Grote Kerk in Dordrecht. Under the leadership of Rev. Langeweg, the Scripture readings were woven together, guiding us from the appearance of the risen Lord Jesus to His disciples, through His ascension into heaven, to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

In the Abendlied, we heard the heartfelt longing to remain close to the Lord. We were then reminded of the risen Christ. In Light of the World, we sang of how He opens blind eyes and reveals Himself to those who seek Him: “Now I can see who You are.” At the same time, we reflected once more on the path that led to His glory. In Teach Me, O Lord, to Truly Understand Your Suffering, we were reminded of the love of Christ, who gave Himself to redeem sinners.

Through songs such as The Lord Bless You and Keep You, God Be With You Till We Meet Again, and Worthy Is the Lamb, our eyes were lifted to the exalted Christ, who blesses His people, reigns in glory, and is worthy of all worship.

With Acts 2, we arrived at the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. In He Touched Me, we heard the personal testimony of a life transformed by Christ. This was followed by Lord, I Hear of Showers of Blessing, expressing the heartfelt longing that God’s blessing may not only rest upon others, but also reach each of us personally.

The evening concluded with the rich message of the Gospel. In Rock of Ages, we were reminded that Christ alone is the sure foundation of our salvation. Then, in The Greatest Gift of All, we reflected on what He has obtained for lost sinners: forgiveness, grace, and eternal life.

We look back on this evening with deep gratitude. Together, we sang the words:  “Pass me not, O Shepherd dear!
Cleanse me from all sin, I pray;
Though the streams of blessing flow onward,
Bless others, but bless me as well.
Yes, me too, yes, me too;
Bless others, but bless me as well.”

It is our prayer that the God of all grace will abundantly pour out His blessing upon you, and that these words may also become your own personal prayer:
“Bless others, but bless me as well.”
