XLR8 Ends. Now Comes a Time of Transition

Bishop Ron Ramsey (right) leads in prayer during the installation service for Phil and Sandy Whipple.

The US National Conference held its concluding service on Sunday morning, June 7. 

  • A drama group from Union Chapel (Fort Wayne, Ind.) opened the service with a powerful skit.
  • A worship team from Hillsdale UB (Hillsdale, Mich.) led the congregational singing.
  • Pat Jones led a communion service.
  • Bishop Ron Ramsey spoke, switching form the car-racing metaphor to a running-the-race metaphor.
  • Bishop Ramsey led the installation service for Bishop-Elect Phil Whipple.

Phil Whipple will take office August 15. But the Executive Leadership Team took action last fall to allow for a two-week overlap with Bishop Ramsey, prior to August 15. In the past, the changeover happened rather abruptly–one bishop one day, a different bishop the next.

Pray for Phil and Sandy Whipple as they busy themselves with all the arrangements for moving from one state to another. They don’t have a home to sell in Michigan, so that’s a plus. But they will need to find a place to live in the Huntington/Fort Wayne area, and soon.
