On Sunday, July 25th at 4 PM EDT, at my beloved home church, the Presbytery of the Highlands of NJ will bestow upon me the title of Reverend. (WHAT!).

I'm honored that you want to celebrate this amazing moment with us, even from afar. You can stream the service on Bound Brook Presbyterian Church's website "live" section or their Facebook page.

If you can't watch live, the recording will be on their Facebook page and their YouTube channel.

My journey to ordination was never one that I did alone, and that helped me get through hurdles, heartaches, headaches, and many, many (many) exams, papers, and committee meetings. And, incredibly, now we're here at the divine meeting of an end and a beginning.

Because I won't get to see your faces in person or on Zoom, I would be overjoyed to hear from you through a comment on the Facebook stream, an email, or a card at my new home in Queens (just ask!).

I hope that this finds you well. May you be experiencing glimmers of joy, relief, and hope in unexpected places as the world opens up again.

In God's love,

Emmie
