We were blessed to celebrate Scott's ordination into ministry in the Christian Reformed Church this past Sunday. It was a wonderful time of celebration with family, friends (many from Visalia) and our new church family at the River. It was an exciting time for us as this has been a long process of preparation. The service was a time of worship, sharing from pastors who have been mentors to Scott and overall, celebration. There was a neat video that Teri from our church put together with family pictures placed between Scott sharing about his journey into ministry. We are just feeling blessed to be in this place at this time. We feel God's hand at work and give him all the glory!
(P.S. Thanks, Julie, for the great pictures!)

He got a little teary eyed, but made it through.

How awesome to see you give your first blessing Scott. I would have had tears in my eyes too. We are so happy for all of you. RK
Congratulations! I was disappointed to have missed it (Olivia had a cold), but I watched as much as I could online. What an exciting day!
