Reverend Trent Casto

On Sunday, Trent was officially ordained as a minister in the PCA (Presbyterian Church in America)! In the PCA, this is a one-time ceremony. In other words, once you're ordained, you're ordained for life.

Our sanctuary was decorated as a spaceship for our church's Vacation Bible School, which is going on this week.

We were so excited that Trent's parents, 2 sisters, brother, brother-in-law & 2 nieces were all able to attend and celebrate with us.
Pastor Petterson (on left) is the head pastor at our current church. He preached the sermon for the service. We were also able to be joined by Pastor Hawkins (on right), the pastor from Trent's college years. He also helped marry us.
Sunday was also Anna Kate's one week birthday and first time to meet lots of people from church.
About 6.5 years ago we first sensed a call to ministry. This ordination service gave us a neat opportunity to reflect on how God has been shaping us for this moment in our lives. To God be the glory!

PRAISE GOD!! So pleased to see you both glorifying God in this ministry! And, we are thankful to have been near you at the time you received this calling and to no see God's faithfulness in bringing it to completion (or is it just the beginning?). Congratulations, Trent and Emily!

Wow! What a big month for your family. These are wonderful times to reflect on God's goodness. It is encouraging, humbling, and exciting to think of how God has called you and prepared you for serving Him. Many blessings on you as you fulfill those roles at home and in the church!
