Ordination of Rev. Rebecca Edwards

 
On Saturday, January 7, Rev. Rebecca Edwards was ordained to the priesthood. With family and friends coming out from back East, it was truly a festive affair, with moon pies being handed out at the reception afterward.
Rebecca designated the offering plate at her ordination to go to Rebuilding the Church in Haiti. Haiti’s cathedral was destroyed in the massive earthquake two years ago.
The beautiful music by Fran McKendree lifted us into the Holy Spirit, and Lynn Schmissrauter’s sermon reminded us to be the light, see the light, and to lighten up.
All in all, it was an amazing day.






Revbecca writes: "I can't thank the Good Sam family enough for everything you did to make my ordination so amazing. So many of you participated in the ceremony and behind the scenes: singing in the choir, arranging flowers, bringing your kids to the rehearsal, providing food and decorations for the reception, serving Moon Pies, and on and on. Thank you for surrounding my family with your characteristic love and for celebrating with Josh and me on such a wonderful day!"
