A lot to report on....

There is a lot of catching up to do here.

Let's go back to Thursday - which was a full and exciting day all unto itself.

The Church and Ministry Committee approved Tyler Connoley for his Ecclesiastical Review - and he is pictured here with Mike, a fellow member of Tyler's church in Silver City, and his partner Rob. Don' they look exuberant!



And we also Licensed Diane Schreckengost as the Pastoral Assistant at Desert Garden. She is pictured here with their Pastor, Sam Sowitsky. Diane's ministry has proven invaluable to their church, and she is now honored to serve as an authorized minister of the United Church of Christ.


Saturday, Mimi and I were privileged to attend the Equality Arizona annual Awards Banquet. What a glorious evening it was. Pictured here are Brendan Mahoney (Moderator Elect of the Southwest Conference), his partner Gordon Street III, their pastor Steve Wayles, Mimi and I, and another young couple from First Congo, Phoenix - Jason and Bim.




It was a marvelous evening, capped off with a humorous, yet very touching, monologue by actor Leslie Jordan.

Soon to come... pics from my trip this afternoon to the Marshallese church in Tucson. What a great weekend!!!
