Thriving Together is a newsletter for women serving in or preparing for ministerial leadership in The Wesleyan Church. Each month, we want to embody 1 Thessalonians 5:11: 

“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”

Ordination Celebration

“And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.” Joel 2: 28-29

This month we celebrate all of the men and women who were ordained in 2023 in The Wesleyan Church. Fifty-six men and twenty-nine women have been ordained in 2023!

In this edition, we want to celebrate and highlight the twenty-nine women who were ordained:
