Thank You Pastor Chuck!
.
We were so fortunate that Pastor Chuck expressed interest in being our interim pastor while we moved along our journey to find a new pastor. His love and appreciation for the Emmanuel Community was evident from the start. He guided us with ideas, insights, and inspiration. His support, encouragement, and ability to lift our spirits were so incredibly valuable. He not only gave us words to live by during his Sunday services, he showed us by example how to welcome a stranger and appreciate a friend.
I hope that we all will emulate his actions and continue them going forward. So, it is with a full heart we wish all of God's blessings for Pastor Chuck and Beth on their next chapter. Our thanks cannot be big enough.
Please join us this Sunday, August 24th at 10 AM for Pastor Chuck’s final service as our interim, and then stay afterwards for the celebration in the reception room! Pizza and cake included.
