 From Pastors Nadine and Mark
In addition to our retirement, we're marking some other milestones in our lives this year. We're both celebrating the anniversaries of our ordination as pastors: the 15th anniversary for Nadine and 25th anniversary for Mark (not counting his 4 years as a United Methodist pastor).
As part of the recognition of Mark's anniversary at this year's Synod Assembly, he was invited to write some reflections on his years in ministry. We thought you might appreciate the chance to see what he wrote.
This is naturally a very busy time for us, as we wrap up our responsibilities and say our good-byes. Thanks to all who have taken time to visit with us, to share a meal with us, to send a card or show your appreciation in other ways. We're really going to miss you all!
Love,
Nadine and Mark
