All are invited to celebrate the Ordination for Wanda K. Frenchman on Thursday, December 11, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. at Grace Lutheran Church (1124 N. 3rd Street, Phoenix, 85004). A community dinner will follow the service in the Fellowship Hall.

Wanda has been called to serve the Ministry of Word and Sacrament in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. This is a joyful moment for the whole church as we affirm God’s call and celebrate the gifts of the Holy Spirit in service to Christ and neighbor.

Bishop Deborah K. Hutterer will preside, and Vance Blackfox will preach.

Rostered ministers are invited to vest and process; the color of the day is red.

The service will be livestreamed on the Grace Lutheran Church Facebook page. The video will also be shared later on the Native American Urban Ministry page.

No RSVP is necessary.

All are welcome—please join us in prayer, celebration, and support.
