On December 6, the Rev. Benjamin George-Thoms was installed as the rector of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Springfield! Congratulations to the Rev. Benjamin George-Thoms and congratulations to the congregation on your new ministry. We look forward to seeing how you share in God’s word in the coming years.
Everliving God, strengthen and sustain Benjamin, that with patience and understanding he may love and care for your people; and grant that together they may follow Jesus Christ, offering to you their gifts and talents; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
