BBQ and an Ordination

The Ketelsens hosted a second BBQ at our house for the members of the church council. It was great to open our home to people who have been such a big part of our lives this past year. We had about 20 folks over. There was a bit of rain so we had to move the party into the garage. (Joshua had the smarts clean it out that morning.) 

The next day Joshua participated in an ordination of a classmate from Seminary. Pastor Peter Elliott and his family were Called to Christ Lutheran in Boyne City. Boyne City is about an hour from Onaway. (Which around here is not very far.) It was a great service and we really enjoyed seeing them.

The pastors giving words of wisdom and a prayer for the new shepherd. Joshua is hiding behind the man with the large book.(Which happens to be Peter's father and his brother is the current pastor praying over him.)

Please keep the Elliott family in your prayers as they embark on this adventure. 

God's Blessings,

Joshua and Stefani
