THANK YOU: I would like to thank Pastor Norris and the church staff for being willing to ordain me. I would also like to thank the church family for their very generous love offering. The whole experience has been humbling and made me realize the immensity of my decision to become an ordained minister. Please pray that I will know and follow the will of God in every aspect of my life. I will try to the best of my ability, with God’s help to fulfill Colossians 4:17 “...Take heed to the ministry which thou has received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it.” In Christ, Jeff Petry
