Dear Friends,

There are moments in our lives when we look back and see God’s fingerprints all over our journey. This is one of those moments for me.

For more than a dozen years, many of you have walked beside me… praying, encouraging, mentoring, and believing. You’ve watched me grow in faith, stumble and rise again, and keep following the voice of the Shepherd. Today, I stand in the land God has called me to, filled with awe at how the Holy Spirit is moving and leading.

With deep gratitude and joy, I want to invite you to a special moment in this journey, my ordination service. This is not just a personal milestone; it is a celebration of God’s faithfulness and the shared road we’ve walked.

Please join me on Saturday, September 20th at 2:00 p.m. at our church, New Hope Fellowship, in Rochelle. A cake and punch reception will follow.

This ordination is within my continued ministry through the Church of God and my beloved church family at New Hope Fellowship, where God is opening new doors of opportunity and mission. I am full of hope and expectation for what’s ahead, but I am excited to take this time to pause, worship, and celebrate with the people who have helped carry me here.

If you have been part of this journey in any way, I would love to see you there. Your presence would mean the world to me.

All glory to the One who calls, equips, and sends.

With love and gratitude,

Pastor Dana Cox (Rev. DMC)😉
