An Ordination in the Family

We heard today that my sister Dorcas' husband Bill is to be ordained as a deacon tomorrow evening in a BMA church in the Hendersonville, NC area.

Several family members from here hope to attend, and at least one of Bill's brothers will be there also. None of either of their extended families live close by.

Bill and Dorcas have lived there for less than two years, after spending the years since their marriage first in VA, then in SC, back to VA, and then to NC. We didn't doubt that God wanted them in NC, but we didn't foresee all that God had in mind for them in that place.

Bill has been a teacher in the past, and is now a nurse in a cardiac care unit. He joins a ministry team that already includes a medical doctor. I suppose that could present some interesting preaching schedule challenges. But it's clear that these people have a heart for healing and helping, and that is certainly an asset in church work.

We wish God's blessing on Bill and his family and church.
