From Kristen:
I’ve had several people from Epworth & Trinity UMC inquire about being able to watch my ordination service so sharing this information to share with the congregation.
Here is the information I received in one of the messages I received about BWC Annual Conference. I assume the ordination service is considered a worship service so will be accessible using the link below.
- Bishop LaTrelle Easterling will preach at the Opening Worship service on May 13 at 7 p.m. (This and all worship and plenary sessions will be livestreamed at www.bwcumc.org if people from your church want to watch.)
Here is a list of the events I will be actively participating in. I’m not sure if folks will want to see them all so they can pick & choose.
- Opening worship on Tuesday, May 13 at 7pm. I will be assisting the bishop as the ‘deacon representative’ in the Remembrance of Baptism
- Plenary Service on Wednesday, May 14 at 3:30pm. It will include church business and reports but ordinands will also be introduced and asked historical questions as part of the session
- “Passing of the Mantle” with retirees and ordinands on Wednesday, May 14 at 7:30 pm
- Ordination Service on Thursday, May 15 at 4pm
I’ve also been informed that there will be a but I have no idea what it is. No details have been provided yet.
