Coz's Ordination

Dear Friends,

This letter is to inform you that an ordination council has been called to examine Coz Crosscombe. If the council feels that Coz is called and qualified, they will ordain him.

Rev. Luis Centeno (Wyoming Ave Baptist Church) has called the council along with Dr Bill Krispin (CityNet Philadelphia). Also on the council are Rev. Larry Smith, Rev Doug Logan, Rev. Chris McCloskey, Dr Mark Saracino and Rev. Mike Wright. Although Coz is not currently in a traditional pastoral role, CityNet has issued the call, feeling that he performs the pastoral functions of a minister of the Gospel in the community and in the local church and would like to see him ordained to this position by a council of pastors in the area.

The ordination examination will be July 12th, beginning with an interview of Joyce (his wife) to examine his character. They will then be interviewed together to examine the calling. Finally, Coz will be examined for his competency and qualification to hold such a position.

If the council recommends Coz for ordination, the ordination service will be held at 6 pm on Sunday July 15th, at Pilgrim church (see below for directions) to which you are all invited.

We would deeply appreciate your prayers through this process.
