I am so grateful to God for placing me among the people I have worked alongside these past 13 years, and the people with whom I will work in the future. Here I am after having been commissioned this week provisionally in the order of Elder of the United Methodist Church (e.g. a Pastor who can perform the holy sacraments) at the Minnesota Annual Conference in St. Cloud, MN, with my sponsor, the Rev. Cynthia Williams, who was just appointed District Superintendent of the River Valley District in MN. Now we've got work to do! To God be the Glory!

He is commissioned as a provisional Elder (i.e. Pastor) in the United Methodist Church, Minnesota Annual Conference and serves as a part-time pastor for this new church plant in South Minneapolis.
