Dear friends,

I am so excited to share that we have hired Todd Ducsay as our new custodian! Todd has long been an active and faithful member of our congregation and we are glad to welcome him into this role and area of ministry. The cleanliness of our church is an important part of our hospitality to both long-time members and first-time visitors and we are lucky to have a custodian as dedicated and thorough as Todd has already shown himself to be.

Many thanks to those who helped us celebrate Bob Gillow's twelve years of ministry as our custodian last week, whether by writing a card or coming by the church on Friday to see him off on his last day! We are a generous and loving congregation and you went above and beyond in showing our appreciation to Bob. He will be missed but I know we are in good hands - Todd has already begun this week and taken up the mantle well!

For all the ways each of us serve God through the ministries of this church, for the many ways you live generously and share the love of Christ, I give deep thanks. I am so glad to be in ministry alongside all of you!

See you in worship this Sunday!

In Christ,
Dillon
Thank you to everyone for the love and support in celebrating Bob's retirement last Friday! He was touched by your kindness and made a sign to say Thanks!
