Ordaining the Called

Phil Layton's Ordination Service
Phil Layton’s Ordination Service

The Torres family had a wonderful time at Phil Layton’s ordination service on Sunday, June 16. This marked a special day in Phil’s life as the elders affirmed His calling into Gospel ministry. It was an eventful evening to say the least. His father gave a brief family history. I was deeply moved by the kind words of his father to his son – all on Father’s Day too. Phil Johnson was asked to be the speaker for the evening, preaching out of 2 Tim 4:1-5 and gave a great charge to young Phil (who turned 38 that day). At the end of the service, the elders along with other pastors laid hands on Phil. We prayed and entrusted Phil to the Lord’s service.
