Dear friends,
This is my last newsletter to you. It is hard to believe that
the time has come for us to move on. I want to express thanks for
all you have done and all you have meant to us.
I thank you for welcoming Phyllis and I in September of
2013. You answered our prayers and provided a place for us at an
important time in our lives. I thank you for making us a part of
your family. You have loved us and welcomed us and made us feel
at home.
I want to thank you again for your support these past few
months as we grieved the loss of our son, David. Without your
prayers and love, we would not have been able to bear the pain as
well as we have. Thank you.
Thank you for allowing us to pursue retirement with our
family in Arizona. I know our plans have created anxiety about
what will happen here in Fairfield with church. Please know that
we will be praying for you just as you have been praying for us.
Trust that God will provide everything you need to do the work
that he has called you to do in this place.
Thank you to our consistory. Pray for them. Their work
load becomes heavier without a pastor in place.
Thanks for every one of you. You have made our ministry
one of the best experiences in our forty years of ministry. We will
miss you all very much.
God be with you till we meet again.
Allan
