May the peace of Christ be with you!

In the life of a pastor, there are several important days. One of the most important is the day of your ordination. This is a once in a lifetime event en par with getting married or graduating from university. At your ordination, the global Church affirms years of preparation, learning, and service by anointing a man or woman to serve as a pastor for life. One of the General Superintendents places hands on the ordinand and a mentor prays God's blessing over them.

It's a really cool moment to witness... and our own Pastor Miguel Rodriguez is getting ordained this week!

On Friday evening at 6:30 pm at Life Community Church in Corvallis, our annual ordination service will take place, and you're invited! Doors open at 5:45 pm for those who would like to get there early. Fellowship and time of greeting will follow.

This Sunday, we will celebrate Miguel's ordination together at HNC at 10:45am. There will be fellowship and a potluck to follow, so be sure to bring a main and a side to share!

This is an awesome week, and something you don't want to miss out on. We'll see you there.

And congratulations, Pastor Miguel!

Always remember: God loves you, we love you, and there's not a thing you can do about it!

Thanks!

       Your friendly neighborhood pastor,
