Dear Friends,
The time has come to say goodbye. I hope that you will be able to be here this Sunday as we bring to a close the relationship we have had as congregation and pastor. Once again let me say what a privilege it has been for me to be here for the last eighteen years. I want to say a special thank you to our church staff- Alberta, Gayle, Pamela, Ray, Warren, and Sarah for all of your hard work and dedication. What's next for the Wilsons? You will see Sarah at the next CUFF Dinner and both of us on Flu Shot Day, but after that we will not be involved with the congregation. A number of people have asked where we will go for worship. We haven't decided that yet. On Sunday, September 25, we will go back to Miami, OK, where I was pastor before here for a visit. After that we will probably end up at one of the Presbyterian churches in Bartlesville or Coffeyville. We will certainly miss being here. Although we'll see each other at the coffee shop or grocery store, it won't be the same. We wish the very best for this congregation and will be praying for you as you look for a new pastor. Thanks again for all that all of you have done to make this a loving congregation.
Have a blessed week,
Pastor John
