Celebrating the Ordination of David Colby Clark

David Colby Clark, son of Norman (deceased) and Carolyn Clark grew up within our Windham Hill UCC family, serving as an acolyte, inevitably hanging out in the “climbing tree” next to Fellowship Hall, taking the lead in musicals, and helping out at many suppers and church events. His father, Norman, was working toward his pastoral ordination when presented with a cancer diagnosis that would call him “home” to heaven. He was able, however, to touch the lives of all people he encountered, and that special quality is passed down to David, who became ordained on Sunday, October 29th here at Windham Hill United Church of Christ. It was an uplifting event, with many light, humorous moments and yet there were inescapable tearful moments, especially when David was presented with stoles originally made for his father. The Windham Hill Family is both proud and pleased to have been an integral part of David’s journey toward ordination. Congratulations, David and best wishes as you continue to make a positive difference to each individual you encounter, to your local community, and to to the greater good of our world with your passion and faithfulness.
