Ryan's Ordination

We are so happy and excited that Ryan passed his ordination exam and was ordained by our church this past Sunday. We are so thankful to God for this ministry he has given us, and this one more way he has blessed our family!



Saturday morning the ordination exam began at 11am. We took a quick lunch break at 12:30, and then the questions finished up around 3:15 or so. Ryan says God was good to him in that the questioning went really smoothly. He had a few difficult ones, but it went well overall. After that the counsel went to discuss the exam and came back to announce that Ryan passed unanamously! On Sunday there was a really nice luncheon in the gym and then a special ordination service at 1:30 when he was officially ordained by the church. Now Ryan can start reading all those books he's been waiting to read instead of studying for the ordination....or so he thinks....actually I have this list of home improvement projects that we keep saying we'll do "after the ordination." Hmmm...let's go find the toolbox!

What a special moment, to see all of those men praying for your husband as he officially begins his ministry!
