Pat Phillips, BMH board member and an elder at the East Side Grace Brethren Church in Blacklick, Ohio (Chip Heim, pastor) sends along the following news note and photo:
Sunday morning worship services at East Side GBC in Columbus, OH on May 20 featured the ordination service for Pastor Nate Harrison. Pastor Nate has been the Pastor of Adult Ministries at East Side since 2000. Prior to coming to East Side, Nate was on staff with The Navigators at Ashland University.
The three-part sermon in both morning services was given by Chip Heim (Senior Pastor at East Side), Keith Minier (Senior Pastor at Pickerington GBC), and Mike Jentes (the quest). Special music by East Side’s choir and soloists also marked the occasion.
Pictured are Pastor Nate and his wife, Lisa, being prayed for by the elders and staff of East Side and Nate and Lisa’s families. Some of those visible in the photo include Bill Cole and Randy Vance (elders) standing in front of Pastor Chip, Jeff Floit (Lisa’s father) standing to the right and rear of Lisa and Nate, and Mark Kipp (elder).
