In efforts to reduce the spread of COVID, many graduations last year and this year have only been conducted virtually. When the Pathways Church found out that their beloved pastor, Karen Lewis, would not be able to march at her graduation from Andrews University, they decided to take matters into their own hands.
Pastor Karen says, “It has taken me 10 years to graduate with my Masters in Pastoral Ministry and the church I currently pastor, Pathways Church, surprised me by providing me with a graduation gown. I happened to have my cap with me–I was going to show it to them—and they had me march down the aisle to the front of the church to the tune of Pomp and Circumstance where they presented me with some beautiful flowers and a copy of my certificate.”
The Minnesota Conference staff and members of the Pathways Church offer their congratulations and best wishes to Pastor Karen on this milestone accomplishment in her life!
