'Tis the season. . .
. . . for ordinations!
Last Saturday, the Diocese of Chicago ordained a group of new priests, among whom stood friends and seminary classmates. Prayers and thanksgivings for the ministries of Dave, Leigh and Jane, who now offer their service to God in a new way.
Tomorrow, the bishop of Missouri will lay hands on Hope (my former roommate), and thereby ordain her to the diaconate. Beth and I will be there, to pray and rejoice with her in this new beginning.
And beloved friends Todd and Mark celebrate the anniversary of their priestly ordinations this week-- marking one and two years, respectively.
Congratulations, everyone! I am blessed to be in such good and gracious company; and the church is blessed by the work these godly people do.

We're making some new priests here in OK, too, tonight. First priestly ordination since our move here--so fun.
I'm so glad for Hope.
Well, I'm late commenting, and new to your blog.....one of my friends was among those ordained in Chicago (Kevin), and I'm thrilled that it is done!
And a couple of my classmates are in St. Louis, so I know what you mean.
My own ordination to the priesthood is coming up January 7, so yes, tis the season.
