Dear Friends,
As you watch and/or read my retirement announcement, I hope you will simply know that it has been my deepest joy to serve as pastor of St. Paul's for more than 8 years. I have received so much from you.
I finish this chapter at my fullest enjoyment and sense of vitality for my calling as a missionary to the front lines of the 21st Century mission field.
This autumn is full of preparing ourselves for the next chapters - there is plenty to do NOW, and we must do it NOW.
My mission continues and I know that Jesus has more for me as I get to be with Pam all the days of all the years Christ might give us.
This autumn is full of preparing ourselves for the next chapters - there is plenty to do NOW, and we must do it NOW.
I hope you will sense the joy and the passion I sense Jesus has given me and which he longs for us all to carry fully in this Autumn... and into the next chapters of us all.
Grace, Doug
