Jay's Ordination Service

Sunday, September 19, 2010 at 3:00pm Jay became an officially ordained pastor. Our church held a special service to ordain both him and Dan. There was a lunch for all of us and then Jay and Dan met with a special council for a question and answer session then this was followed by the service.

It is hard to believe he has been serving at the church almost two years already. When Jay was hired on he always said he wanted to be known as a worship pastor not "the music guy". He has a passion for helping and serving people and our Lord. It has been an amazing two years for me serving beside Jay in his ministry we have had our ups and downs, highs and lows but watching God work through it all has been amazing. God is so faithful!

A special highlight and blessing of the day was that Pastor Byron Banta came to the service. He actually joined us for church, was part of the council and stayed for the ordination. Pastor Banta was Jay's pastor when he was a child and Pastor Banta also performed our wedding ceremony.

Here are some more pictures of my brother and nephew with the kids after the service.

And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20
