Dear Members of Our Church Community,

With a blend of gratitude and sadness, we announce the departure of our cherished Pastor Tom Walter. Over the past 12 years, Pastor Walter has been a guiding light, a source of strength, and a devoted shepherd to our congregation. As he embarks on a new chapter in his journey, we wish him all the best and extend our heartfelt thanks for his years of dedicated service.

Pastor Walter's leadership has been pivotal in nurturing our spiritual growth and fostering a strong sense of community within our church. He has officiated our ceremonies, offered counsel during times of need, and remained a steadfast presence through both joyous and challenging moments.

Reflecting on Pastor Walter's impact, we are reminded of his many contributions to our church’s mission and values. From his insightful sermons to the countless hours spent in pastoral care, he has profoundly touched each of our lives.

We invite you to join us for a special farewell service on October 5, 2024, where we will have the opportunity to express our appreciation and celebrate Pastor Walter's remarkable tenure with us. Following the service, there will be a reception in the fellowship hall where we can share our memories, extend our well wishes, and express our gratitude in person.

As Pastor Walter transitions to a new phase in his ministry, let us keep him in our prayers, asking that God continue to guide and bless him in all his endeavors. He leaves behind a legacy of faith, hope, and love that will continue to inspire us for years to come.

Thank you, Pastor Walter, for your unwavering dedication and for the countless ways you have enriched our lives and our community. We will miss you dearly but find comfort in knowing you will always be a part of our church family.

With heartfelt gratitude and warmest regards,
