Our schedule on the second Lord's Day of the new year will be unique as we gather during the 9:30 hour for a farewell reception for retiring pastor Dr. Robert Norris. Join in this opportunity to bid fond farewell and express appreciation for his faithful service to Fourth Church of nearly 40 years. What a bittersweet time! We will all miss Rob dearly.
It's not too late to write a note of thanks; blank cards are available in the Upper Room, Halverson Hall, and the Lower Lot entrance, or bring your own to add to the baskets there.
