Enrolment+Ceremony

The Enrolment Ceremony is given to all Youth Members after joining St John. It promotes the Core Values of: ** Teamwork, Integrity, Professionalism, Empathy. ** It also promotes the eight virtues of a St John Youth Member, namely: ** Sympathy, Humility, Gentleness, Peace, Compassion, Unselfishness, Truth, Endurance. ** This Policy for leading an Enrolment Ceremony was provided by Mr Richard Hitchcock. It includes the order of ceremony and the Hymn of St John:

The St John Hymn is called //**'The White Cross of St John'**// and is sung to the tune of __//O God, Our Help in Ages Past//__:

From ancient pilgrim hospital, Where love met human plight, To modern service to the sick, Restoring health and sight. // **[CHORUS]** // ** // Beneath the banner of the Cross, // // The White Cross of St John, //** **// The healing work of Christ the Lord, //** **// Through time and change, goes on //. **  Bless those we serve: the young, the aged, The injured and distressed; Our charge, to be swift messengers, Of love made manifest. Bless us who serve you day and night; Keep us within your care, Who go to tend a wounded world, In trauma, pain and fear. We vow to you the skills we bring: Our hands your hands must be; Our hearts your living heart of love For all humanity
