I do not know how many ordinations you have attended over the years but I have been to several. In fact, I have been ordained twice and spoken at a few. (Once as a Ruling elder and once as a Teaching Elder) We had a wonderful time in the Spirit at Grace Community Church in Mt. Vernon this morning. It was a most unusual ordination.
  • First, it took place in the midst of the morning worship service.
  • Second, the worship was absolutely dynamite. In fact, Grace Community normally has great music and worship but it was special today. The intensity and freedom of the worship teams and the response of the people, leaders and the Ordinand, David Fields, made everything come together in a deeply Divine Day.
  • Third, the people and the leaders seemed to genuinely love David, each other and the people ate Grace.
  • Fourth, the congregation was very excited and thankful to have David as the new Pastor.
All in all the day was a great time of emotional and spiritual expressions. It reminds me that "Pain is inevitable but misery is optional" and
"The only thing that is not strange is change."
