On Sunday, April 30th a retirement celebration was enjoyed for Rev. Dr. Patrick Overton and his wife Lindi at Arrow Rock Federated Church. Patrick served Arrow Rock as bookends to his lifelong ministry - for 12 years beginning in 1976 and most recently for 10 years. A special worship combined with an original song called “Honored” was shared, and Regional Minister Ron Routledge presented him a retirement pin. A lovely luncheon followed.

Pictured are: Rev. Dr. Scott Killgore, Rev. Ron Routledge, Rev. Dr. Patrick Overton, Rev. Dr. Larry Colvin, and the newly called Pastor Michael Kateman.

Patrick served the Region for years on the Northwest Commissioned Ministry Team and as a member of our Regional Commission on the Order of Ministry, and has been engaged at many levels throughout the years. He is now designated as ‘Retired-Active’ and hopes to continue in a limited capacity to serve the Church. Blessings, Patrick and Lindi and thank you for your faithful service to Arrow Rock and CCMA!
