Ordination Service

Port Clyde Christian Church is pleased to announce a special Ordination Service for Pastor Randall.

On November 19th at 3 pm all are invited to enter with thanksgiving and praise as we celebrate the gifts our heavenly Father has blessed His people with. This service of thanksgiving will recognize the call of pastor as one of those gifts. Pastor Paul Munro of Owls Head Baptist Church will bring the message followed by a commissioning of Pastor Randall.

And to begin our service upon a joyful note, we’ll begin with a time of fellowship and dessert pies! Please bring a pie to share and join us for a blessed time.

And He personally gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, for the training of the saints in the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of God’s Son…” (Ephesians 11-13a)
