After a great deal of thought and prayer, I am announcing that as of Date, I will be retiring as Pastor of Christian Life Church. After all these years serving such a wonderful congregation, I feel that it is time to begin the next chapter of my life.Â
I am writing this letter to you at the request of our new Pastor, Rev. __________ _______________.
Pastor ___________'s wife, _____________ is presently employed as a Nurse by (Name of Hospital), and I'm sure she will be a tremendous asset to you, and all who are associated with her.
What a tremendous joy it is to know that we will be welcoming our new Pastor and family here at First Christian Church!
On behalf of the entire Deacon Board/Search Committee, I want to extend our sincerest expression of gratitude and thanks for your patience during the process of determining God's will for our Church in this vital ministry of Pastor.
We are so grateful for the blessings of the Lord here at (NAME OF CHURCH), and are looking forward to even greater things in the weeks and months ahead.
Recently, our President has placed a greater emphasis the idea of “volunteerism”, and has encouraged people of every walk around our nation to respond in such a way that needs are met in different organizations, ministries, and of course, even for those who are less able to take care of their own needs. I think that regardless of your party affiliation, we can ALL agree on the need for more volunteers!
