Farewell

As you know by now, I am taking my leave of you in a few weeks. I will be going to General Assembly, taking personal vacation time out west and returning here in mid July to tidy up the office and clean out the files and generally finish up the odds and ends. You'll be in good hands. I promise. For the time being, you will have a curriculum consultant working with your curriculum committee on content and a Sunday morning go to person - either volunteer or paid. The search for a consulting or interim Religious Educator is on and I have no doubt that you will attract a top notch candidate. All will be well.

As I said last Sunday, everything and everyone has their place. Birds have their nests and the sky and animals have their burrows and their lairs. For a while this was "our" place, but "my" place is somewhere else now and this is again "your" place. I hope you will care for each other well within it. Many blessings and many thanks to all of you for making my time here so rich.
