Ordination

I was finally Ordained last Saturday to the call of church planting in the Philadelphia region. Here is the "laying on of hands" part of the service. 7 Commissioners from my Presbytery drove down to Fredericksburg in order to perform this Ordination. Bagudekia and Suzanne Alobeyo helped my wife sing a special song during the service. One of my former pastors, Bob Becker, (New City Fellowship) preached the sermon.

My friend and fellow PCA pastor Jack Howell gave the charge and it was very personal and pertinent. This was probably my favorite part of the service.

We had a reception immediately afterward that was thrown by the people of New City Fellowship...complete with chocolate fountain, Deejay, finger foods and a huge cake seen here.

Everything went well and I enjoyed seeing people from different areas of my life gathered together. It was almost surreal. Thanks everybody for all your work and support!!
