It is with a heavy heart that we are writing to tell you that our beloved director of Music, Brian Cash, has resigned from his position at St. Paul's effective on September 29 to embark on a new path and direction. A mailing was sent to notify members of the Congregation, but we want to make sure all friends are notified and have the opportunity to thank Brian and Marie for their dedication to many ministries at St. Paul's.
A reception with a light lunch will be held following the 11 AM service on Sunday, September 29th to honor Brian and Marie. We invite all to attend. The church council would like to give members of St. Paul's the opportunity to contribute to a gift which will be presented at the reception. These contributions can be mailed or placed in the offering plate prior to or on September 29th. Checks should be made out to St. Paul's with a memo or note indicating "gift to Brian Cash."
We ask you to pray for Brian and Marie as they embark on new ventures. St. Paul's truly appreciates their leadership, commitment, and dedication to many ministries over the last eleven years.
Sincerely,
Nolan Raney
Congregation Council President
Details on the Luncheon:
The luncheon in Trinity Hall will follow the 11 am service. The main meat dish will be provided. We are asking, if you are able, to provide side dishes or desserts. This can be anything from salads (any kind), deviled eggs, vegetables, pasta or rice dishes, and fruits. Desserts can be anything you would like to bring. We all love to taste the many pot-luck dishes this congregation is capable of. All foods can be brought to Trinity kitchen that morning. Please do not bring serving utensils.
