Pastoral Ponderings
October is a special month for me. On October 10, 1993, thirty-two years ago, I was ordained into the Christian ministry. I still remember the joy of that day and the little impromptu dance that my UCC colleagues and I did to celebrate at the end of the service at State Street Church in Portland, Maine! My first call had already begun in Ortonville, Minnesota and Millbank, South Dakota and I and the whole family flew back to Maine for the Ordination service which was held in the same sanctuary in which a few months before, with the U-Haul literally waiting outside the door, I had undergone my Ecclesiastical Council.
Those were heady times.
“Double-10 Day” was always special to me, . .
