A Word of Gratitude
It is with great joy that I say thank you for last week’s wonderful celebration. I am beyond grateful for our 20+ years of shared ministry.
Worship was radiant with God’s Word and Spirit, music and prayers. You embraced my family and friends and the picnic was a delight! Best of all we gathered together in our beloved church, connected through laughter and fellowship, and had ourselves a rollicking festive time. As Pam Wakefield said, “there was an abundance of Joyful Noise.”
I look forward to using my spa gift card and Michael and I have booked our tickets for McCarter Theater’s 2022-2023 season for Rhiannon Giddens & Francesco Turrisi in October and the Internationale Bachakademie of Stuttgart performing Bach's Johannes Passion in November.
Sunday was a joy in every way and as we celebrated as a church, it illuminates what we can do together by God's grace. You are God’s treasure.
With gratitude and love,
Lauren
