2009 Milestones in Ministry
Shenandoah District Church of the Brethren
Each year, the District’s Ministry Commission recognizes “milestones in ministry.” Congregations often do a good job in recognizing tenure milestones. We also know that a minister’s years of ordination to the set-apart ministry are significant chapters. Areas of service for the ordained extend beyond parish ministry and include chaplains, counselors, biblical professors, district and national staff and other specialized ministries. Listed below are colleagues in ministry who celebrate in 2009 a variety of ordination milestones. For those listed, your congregation is also receiving a letter and you will be recognized at District Conference, November 7. (There is no Friday evening dinner this year.) (If we have any information that is incorrect or missing, please call us at the District Office.) - Jim Miller
