Ordination Service On Hold!

Dear friends and family,

I want to thank each of you all the positive affirmations and encouragements I have received over the past few months as I have worked towards ordination. I have been praying, reflecting, and dialogging with my pastoral guidance team in preparation for this important day. This past week, it has become clear to us all that, due to some personal issues, I am not yet ready to be ordained. So, as of now, the ordination service, which had been scheduled for Sunday, November 4th, 2007 at 4 pm, has been put on hold.

I am sincerely sorry for any inconvenience this causes you and I ask for your patience and forbearance. I am still working towards going into vocational ministry, it’s just at this point, I am not ready to take this step.

I would appreciate your prayers as I seek God’s direction, strength and peace in my continued pursuit of his will and calling for my life.

Trusting in Him with You,

Michel J. Willard
