As with everything during COVID, things are not the way we would want them. In fact, the inability for all of us to be together as a community is one of the most challenging aspects of this transition.
We were planning for the transition to take place in late spring / early summer with in-person announcements, events, and transition activities. We wanted to be physically together and collectively find joy in Rick and T’s time with us. COVID-19 delayed the timing and changed these plans significantly. However, we worship a God who is provident and steadfast in His love for His Church. His timing is not ours.
