Plan now to attend this special event at Ripley: Recently, Ripley UCC voted to call Pastor Jim as our settled minister. This is the last step of an 8 year ordination process for Jim, and the first step of a lifelong ordained journey. To mark the occasion, our church is hosting a Service of Ordination and Installation on Saturday, August 1st, followed by a potluck supper at Taylor Park. You are all invited.
