Ordination Service
Ordination Service, originally uploaded by Free Methodist Overflow.
One of the great honors in annual conferences is to participate in seeing people receive their calling and be ordained and commissioned. Bishops Roller, Kendall, and Thomas administered a powerful ordination service. The ordination orders are:
Take authority to minister the Word of God, faithfully proclaim His Word, declare His forgiveness, celebrate the sacraments, shepherd His people
