What a wonderful day - December 23, 2007! Lynn Labs was ordained at First UCC.Lynn began her studies at United Theological Seminary in 1999.
She had felt a call to ministry for a long time and after another career - and as her two daughters were getting older - she decided to pursue studies at United Seminary - a United Methodist School in Dayton. Her gifts have been recognized and supported by many people, including those who gathered and celebrated with her on Sunday, December 23.
Lynn's mentor, the Reverend Doctor Richard L. Eslinger preached the ordination sermon. Dick is a professor at United Seminary.
Lynn's home church pastors also participated. Pastor Carol gave the charge to the Congregation and I gave the charge to the Ordinand.
SONKA Minister, The Reverend Ruth Brandon, and the Chair of the Church & Ministry In-Care Committee, The Reverend Marylyn Doyle, presented Lynn for ordination. 
Congratulations, Reverend Lynn!
