Dear Great Friends in Ministry: Here’s one more good thing that must come to an end: on or near August 9, I am moving with Laura Loving, who is my spouse, to Portland, Oregon, where, as you may know, live our daughter, our two grandchildren, and Laura’s sister. My current plan is to be with you on Sunday mornings coming up, except for July Sundays, 10 and 17 for family camp in Wisconsin, with August 3 as my last Sunday with you; and on some weekdays as schedules allow. I have completely enjoyed my time with you! You have been warmly friendly and supportive of me, and are clearly engaged in the ministry of Jesus Christ in your communities. I will make final plans with the Sessions of each congregation; the Presbytery’s Commission on Ministry (COM) will want to be as supportive as they can be for the continuing ministry of these congregations. Knowing that many members and friends of these congregations will not receive this information all at the same time, please let others know of this message. I will keep you in my prayers, and I invite you to return the honor! Blessings all around! The Peace of Christ be with you! -Bill Prayer: Thanksgiving for Natalie’s safe return and Isabel.
