Friends who became family,

As I wrap up my time at the synod office, I leave you in good hands. Carissa Abraham will be moving into the realm of Children, Youth, and Family and will be your cheerleader in the synod office. I'm focused on ending well and I want you to know that Carissa has my trust and I trust that you will look to her to be about the work of faith formation for those in the first third of life. She will do things differently and that's how things are suppose to be. She's your advocate and I'm hers. Boundaries mean I will always refer you to Carissa as she moves into this role. I'm cheering for her and hope you will roll out the warmest of welcomes to her in this new adventure. You've got this and you are loved.
