Dear parish family and friends,
On Sunday, July 28, I will celebrate my last Sunday with you as your rector. I thank you for the many ways that you have enriched my life and ministry. It has been an honor and a special privilege to have served as your priest and pastor as I conclude my active ministry as a priest of the Episcopal Church for almost 41 years. It has been my joy and privilege to be with you at times of greatest happiness to baptize you and your children, to officiate the weddings of many, to provide pastoral counsel and advice, to attend to you when you were sick and hospitalized, and to stand with you when death crossed our paths. These are special opportunities for a priest, and I cherish the many memories made as we lived into the life of the Body of Christ as God’s faithful people.
