Gabe Pennington Ordained
On October 28, 2018 Gabriel Pennington was ordained at Pleasant View Mennonite Church near Hydro, Oklahoma. About two years ago Gabriel and his wife Christa moved back to Oklahoma after he graduated from Anabaptist Mennonite Seminary in Elkhart, Indiana so that he could serve as Associate Pastor at Pleasant View. Lead pastor, Jeff Selzer gave the message during the Sunday morning service and Regional Conference Minister, James Wenger conducted the ordination service. As part of the service each of the Elders of the church gave Gabriel a gift explaining a blessing that God wants to give Gabe as he serves. A fellowship meal followed the service. As a hobby and a ministry opportunity, Gabe serves as a volunteer coach for the wrestling team at the high school in Weatherford. Gabe and Christa are also foster parents at the present time for two children.
