This weekend of celebration continued today with the ordination of Miles Holder. Miles has been called to serve at New Hope Lutheran in Keller. The ordination was at his home congregation of Grace Lutheran in Carrollton.

This service took place on the north side of the Metroplex and was attended by a whole different set of supporting clergy colleagues. It’s always good to see the love and support of local clergy.

This is one of the joys of my work – seeing the fruit of all the years of preparation. I was especially honored to preach at the service today. I am so blessed to do what I do! And I am grateful for so many excellent colleagues – new and veterans.

These congregations put on great receptions!
