Thank you so much for sharing your journey and ordination with all of us! In my house, I danced, sang, laughed, and cried tears of gratitude that you are out here being the Church for all of us and setting more seats at this abundant sumptuous banquet of Christ Love. May living into your call bring joy that we all feel seeing you on this Path. MILESTONE!

The Marciales Family is celebrating this day with you from Alaska. May you walk this road fabulously, as you were uniquely created by God to be fabulous. May you live into your call with all the joy and love your cells can exude, so you might delight in the work. And may the Kin-dom of God be alive and made whole in the ways you help shape it, bringing it into being through your ministries.

The whole church gets to celebrate today! I'm so excited to get to serve with you and learn from you and also to not talk about church stuff too much! May it be a bigger splash then when Phyllis Neffler led the girl scouts from Beverly Hills to rethink khaki fashion!

Hey Drew! Congratulations on EVERYTHING! On finding this new spot in the world, on making that spot better for others, and on just being you. I can't believe how long it's been and how many things have changed since we met for coffee at the Finnish Bistro and talked about gender, or since we swept up the floor and the oven together at Brake Bread. I'm so proud to know you, and so sorry I can't be there in person for your ordination, but know that I'm thinking of you and sending you all the love and excitement for your future.

I sorry my plans to be at your Ordination couldn’t work out. I’m so bemused by how few degrees of separation we discovered between us. Looking forward to working together in your ministry. - Mark Davis
