Learning
Greetings from Ian!
As Lent draws near to its close, I wanted to share some closing reflections with you all. It has been a joy to lead you all through the season of Lent each Wednesday. Building on an exciting fall season of Bible studies, we have been able to provide shorter, but still meaningful Bible studies prior to worship. The dinners we have shared have been great as well, so I’d like to offer a big thanks to everybody who helped out. This year we shared a different Lenten service as we transitioned from the service of Compline(night prayer) to the service of Vespers (evening prayer). Prior to Lent, I had never led a service by myself, and I hadn’t chanted either. Both have been exciting challenges that have helped enhance my ministry goals. I appreciate your patience, collaboration, insights, and receptive ears to these services. And now for some updates about my seminary studies: I am required to fulfill a year long internship. I am currently patiently awaiting placement for this fall. I have interviewed at four sites out West, and I will be placed in April. Please keep me in your prayers. In the meantime, my studies continue, as well as my chaplaincy requirement at the Cleveland Clinic. I will always cherish the memories that we have shared together, and hope that our paths may across again in the future.
Yours in Christ,
Seminarian Ian Hamilton
