Pastor’s Desk – October 6th
A Gala and More
I’m still staring into space. The retirement gala was just “off the charts,” nearly 200 people showed up all in high spirits. Yes, it was a retirement party, but so much more as well. It was a celebration of all that has been, and that would be! An expression of joy and confidence about what could come about, the guests filled the hall and there was not an empty chair!
We had a sense that the Lord Himself filled our hearts with His love for us, even as we tried to come into His presence. Again, thank you for coming. I will cherish fond memories of the occasion, even as I become excited about the new things God has in store for me.
