Christmas Greetings

It does not seem possible that this is our last Christmas with you, but since I face mandatory retirement on July 1, 2021, it is. Debbie and I have loved our time with you and we wish you, 

during this very special season, all the love, joy, and wonder of God’s love found in the Christmas story. May His peace fill your lives and may the song of Christmas always be in your heart and on your lips. 

Agape,

Reverend Rich and Deborah
