Kathy and I were so moved by the inspirational, thoughtful, generous, and loving send-off that you gave to us. We can’t thank you enough for the way you have honored our time with you.
It is hard to describe how meaningful this perfect ending has become for us. You have helped us celebrate not only our precious years at St. Paul but also a pastoral career. It is an understatement to say that we were overwhelmed by every aspect of the “good bye” that has taken place in recent weeks.
We are grateful that God saw fit to place us in your midst for a time. We will never forget how you persevered in troubled times and how you lovingly saw us through some tumult of our own these last two years.
St. Paul is an exceptional congregation and we know that God has great things in store for you going forward. We will not meddle but we will be watchful to see what the Lord is up to among you!
With all our hearts we say thank you and we say to you “well done, good and faithful servants!”
God bless you,
Pastor Bill and Kathy
