Save the date for September 29th<\/sup>, 2024, when WellSprings will hold a milestone event in the life of our congregation: our first-ever ministerial Installation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year<\/a>, our congregation held a vote to officially \u201ccall\u201d and affirm the Rev. Lee Paczulla as our settled minister \u2013 the first time we\u2019ve gathered in this way to choose our own minister, in the 17-year history of our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WellSprings has been host to three ministerial Ordination ceremonies, all for previous Interns within our congregation: Rev. Greg Pelley, Rev. Lee Paczulla, and Rev. Beth Monhollen. An Installation ceremony is similar to an Ordination in some ways: local clergy are invited, special rituals are held as part of the service, and greetings are shared from regional bodies within our denomination. However, an Ordination is mostly about the minister. An Installation is about our entire congregation<\/strong>. It\u2019s a chance to celebrate our role within the local community, and to set a tone for the years of shared ministry, ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will Install Rev. Lee on Sunday, September 29th<\/sup> at 2pm in the afternoon. A few guests are already confirmed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
