Rev. Kocher Will Take Family Leave
Dear Reveille friends,
As many of you have heard by now, my husband Craig and I are expecting our first baby in August. We are very excited. As we have thought and prayed about how to welcome a child into our lives, I have decided to take family leave as of July 1 and not seek a church appointment for the coming year. This means my appointment at Reveille will come to an end with the Annual Conference meeting this year which means my last Sunday at Reveille will be June 17. I have much peace about making this transition at such an important time for our family's life.
Serving as associate pastor at Reveille for the past two years has been a blessing to me, and I am so grateful for the opportunity I've had to share in ministry here. Thank you for welcoming me. Thank you for your love and support through the last two years and now especially in this time of transition. I'm looking forward to enjoying four more months together.
Warmly,
Rev. Abby Kocher
