a call to serve...
    Table of Contents
    Rev. Eric Posa

Clergy persons fill several roles throughout our ministries--
some call these the "commissions" of ministry. These pages
are organized around eight commissions, describing my
perspectives on each role. I hope they help provide a sense
of my ministry.
