William (Bill) Kull of West Point, PA was ordained to Christian ministry for the Methacton Mennonite Church on December 10, 2006, during a morning service at the church. Bill and his wife Susan have been members of Methacton Mennonite since 1987. Bill has been on the Pastoral Team at Methacton since July 2003, and before that was a lay leader in the congregation. Officiating and preaching at the service was Noah Kolb, Conference overseer for the Methacton Mennonite Church.
Also joining the congregation the morning of December 10 were several other ministers, seen here standing in the old pulpit of the church, which was built in the 1800s.
