After 17 wonderful years of being your pastor, I am finally writing my last blog for the bulletin.

We will not say goodbye officially until our last service on August 28. But the clock is ticking

allowing the remaining days to slip by. We wish to thank everyone for your love and support.

For every prayer you prayed for us; for every dollar you gave; for every service you attended;

for every program you supported; we thank you. Although we will soon part, we trust that the

parting will not represent a permanent separation. We hope to be able to return and visit 211 in

the future, maybe the near future. Let's keep each other in our prayers. Farewell.
