An Ordination Update
Saturday, February 20th, 2010
So, I’ve been offered an ordained “pastor” position at the church where I’ve had the honor of serving since 2006. It’s been approved by the Committee on Ministry of the Los Ranchos Presbytery, though there’s two more hoops to jump through:
1) This Sunday, February 21st, I’ll be preaching at the church in all three services, after which there’ll be a congregational meeting, where they’ll vote.
2) Then, on Thursday, February 25th, I’ll go before “the floor” of the Presbytery (which is made up of all the pastors and delegated elders in the area) who will examine me, asking me any theological question they’d like. And I get to answer it! How fun.
So, if you’re in the LA area and would like to swing by – especially Thursday’s meeting – it’d be really great to have some familiar faces in the crowd.
3) Then, if I get through all that, we’re throwing an ordination service/party on Sunday, March 21st, in Los Alamitos. Put it on your calendar.
At that party you can jokingly refer to me as “pastor.” After that, it’s back to Curtis.
Calling me pastor is flat out unbiblical. Really. Check out Matthew 23.
