And Finally

The Scriptures are filled with stories of people who have been called to move to new places, including Mary and Joseph, Paul and Barnabas. Filled with uncertainty about what lay ahead, these people of God could not have found their moves easy. Yet they were also filled with excitement, trusting that God was calling them and guiding them to a new place.

And now you, our beloved friend, Revd. Sue are preparing to leave us and go to a new place, a new home, and a new community. As a part of this body of Christ over the past years, you have given of yourself in ways that we have appreciated and will miss. We ask God’s blessing upon you as we lift our hearts in prayer
