The Pacific Northwest Conference of the UCC and Suquamish Community Congregational UCC are celebrating the ordination of Sophie Morse, from 3-5 p.m. Sunday, November 8, 2020, via Zoom. Sophie served as a pastoral leader at Keystone several years ago.
This past February, Sophie was approved for ordination by the Westside Committee on Ministry for the Pacific Northwest Conference for the United Church of Christ. She will be ordained into a specialized ministry in Conflict Consulting for faith organizations, a culmination of much preparation, training, and discernment. As part of this call, Sophie will be in covenant with the Suquamish Church, the Pacific Northwest Conference, the Dispute Resolution Center of Kitsap County, and an independent Support & Accountability Board. She is excited to be able to branch out and serve her community in this way!
Donations during the service will be accepted to help support the scholarship fund for Members in Discernment (those studying to become ministers in the UCC).
