LONG AND WINDING ROADS..Part 2...Ordination...





All aboard next stop ordination.... Welcome to the "Long and winding road" train stop. We will now travel to our next destination....Ordination...

The last 2 days mom and dad have spent in meetings. This is called outbound orientation. ( The name is self explanatory. LOL ) Today was the last day of meetings. Before all was said and done dad was ordained!!!! It was a pretty special day. Uncle Steve and Aunt Melody Gossage drove from the Indianapolis area to be at the ordination with us! To top everything off Bro Kenneth Haney and Bro Jerry Jones were at the ordination! HOW AWESOME IS THAT????

The ordination service was great!! Dad got a Bible, a Certificate, and a Towel. (The towel had his name embroidered on it, in BIG gold letters. It is sooo pretty!) Now for those of you who don't know what the towel means, I will tell you. ( I was a little confused myself!) The towel is the symbol of a servant. Why is that you may ask? A towel is used in foot washing. Who washes the feet??? A servant! We are to be servants of Christ. So there you have it!

The Lord moved in a mighty way in the service! Afterwards we spent a little while with the Gossages and the Cantrells. ( Missionaries to Berkina Faso.) We had a great time of fellowship! They are all awesome people!

We leave tomorrow for Texas and our Missions Conference with Bro Berks. Stay tuned for "Long and winding roads..Part 3."
Pictures for Part 2 can be found on my mothers blog spot. You can go to blogger buddies on my page and click on her name at the top. This will take you straight to her blog spot.
Love you all,
Hannah
