Congratulations Rev. Aull!

On Sunday Oct 28th, the Metro-New York Association of the United Church of Christ ordained our pastor, Jennifer, to the office of Minister of Word and Sacrament. This means that she is now able to officiate at communion and baptism, oversee congregational meetings and sign marriage certificates.
Many of the members of the church as well as other friends from the Greenpoint community attended the ordination service, which was held at the Broadway United Church of Christ. Our supervisor, Rev. Dan Ramm read the Hebrew lesson, Elder Ruth Blankschen read the gospel lesson, Dr. Kansfield preached the sermon (which will be available online shortly) and the Red Hook Ramblers provided fabulous toe-tappin’ Dixieland gospel tunes. Our thanks to everyone who helped make this special service possible, especially to the Broadway UCC congregation for caring for Jennifer with kindness and compassion throughout her ordination process.
