Clergy Instructions for Ordering Service
As we do each year, we are inviting all clergy to help in the celebration of those colleagues who are entering into a new phase of ministry. We ask that you vest and participate in the opening procession of this year’s ordering service on Sunday, June 9.
Please wear a robe or alb for the Ordering of Ministry Service. Stoles, scapular, etc. should be RED. There will be coat racks for you to use for hanging garment bags.
Please gather in robes/albs no later than 8:30 a.m. At 8:45 a.m., those seated on the south side of the hall will line at the far end of the lobby behind designated leaders with signs. Those seated on the north side of the hall will line up at the near end of the lobby behind designated leaders with signs.
On cue, please process forward by the side aisles. When you come to the front tables, please walk to any empty seat in the hall and remain standing. NOTE: the only reserved seats are those in front for the honorees.
As a reminder, the conference center/Iowa Events Center is not responsible for your belongings. Every effort will be made to ensure garment bags are not taken, but please keep any/all valuables with you at all times. PLEASE make sure to take your robe/garment bag with you when you leave the Events Center.
