Members of the body of Christ on earth:

Grace and peace to you from our living God who has chosen to be in relationship with us through Jesus Christ.

I am happy today to announce eagerly anticipated good news that I have a call to be ordained as a pastor! If you are new to Spirit Garage, I served as a contextual education student when I was at Luther Seminary, and continued to be involved until I moved to San Francisco this year.

I began work as Assistant Director at The Welcome Ministry, a social justice and pastoral care ministry that gathers in community with people in poverty. First United Lutheran Church has just voted unanimously to call to serve as an ordained pastor with this ministry through Extraordinary Lutheran Ministries. I will be called by First United to serve as pastor to the Welcome Ministry. First United Lutheran Church has a long history of taking ministry risks for justice in God's gospel promises.

The ordination will be Saturday, December 6, 2008 in San Francisco (Time yet to be shared). If you would like more information or want to attend, please E-mail me for the full letter (or ask Pastor Rob to forward it to you).

Grace and peace be with you, - Jay Wilson
