and our newest ordained elder is.... ERIN!

Erin became our new youth elder today in church. She was ordained and I was so excited. Erin went through confirmation two years ago and got stuck with me as her mentor. We traveled through Jim's confirmation class together and it was cool to see her come out a church member on the other side of all those worksheets and movie clips. Today was even cooler. She's got the heart, the head and the passion to be a good leader so I hope she speaks up at meetings and shares her unique view on things.

Way to go, Erin! Jesus loves you lots. Woohoo. :)

(And not to trivialize the ordination bit of the service, but when all those ordained elders come forward for the laying of the hands and the prayer time, it always makes me think of this for some reason. Is that wrong?)
