PRINCE OF PEACE LUTHERAN CHURCH

Dear Prince of Peace Lutheran Church,

I am writing to share the news that Michael will be leaving us as our Organist. His last Sunday will be August 12th. He is a talented and gifted musician and accompanist and it has been a pleasure to work with him and hear him during our worship services. Our community has been very fortunate to have Michael playing for us. I trust the Living Spirit of Christ to provide us with another musician who will enhance our worship as well as Michael does..

The plan is to post the job opening now that everyone is informed. Kate has agreed to chair the Search Committee to find our next musician. If anyone is interested in helping us to find our next musician - please let Kate, myself, or Jeanne know.

Please join me in thanking Michael for sharing his amazing playing with us and offering him blessings and congratulations as he transitions into his position working with his new church. Please remember Michael's transition and our search for his replacement in your prayers.

We will share a sending prayer for Michael during the worship service on Sunday, Aug 12th.

Peace and Prayers,

Pastor Tim
