Approved For Ordination Pending A Call

P1010057_web_2This weekend the Central Pacific Conference of the United Church of Christ called an Ecclesiastical Council to vote on whether or not to approve me for ordination.  The council vote came after the conference's committee on ministry had made a recommendation to approve my ordination.  After a short presentation from me and questions from clergy and lay people the Ecclesiastical Council voted to accept that recommendation and approved my ordination pending a call to serve a local congregation.  The Rev. Dr. Hector Lopez (pictured), The Rev. Dr. Pat Ross, and The Rev. Bill Greene led the meeting and all helped to guide me through the process (along with a lot of help from the The Rev. Gene Ross, now retired).  Liz and the twins were able to come and so was my mother.  Thanks to everyone involved for all the prayers and support.  All I need now is a call.
