Statement to Conference:
All I can say is that God works in mysteriously wonderful ways as we grow closer to God through
the people of God in laughter and tears, celebration and crisis, life and death . This clergywoman
is grateful for all of God's people who have loved and led me to this moment through their faithful
support and their gracious example. Throughout the years of my servant role in the ministry of
Jesus Christ, I pray that God's call will continue to be answered at home with the people of God
in the connection of the United Methodist Church .
