I am not an enthusiastic housekeeper. As I start packing up my office at the church, this personal flaw becomes painfully obvious! There are always more interesting and urgent matters before me, but sooner or later the tidying up must be done!

We need to attend to some housekeeping regarding my last few months. I will be here in person this weekend, the last weekend in April, and the third weekend in May. I will work remotely in June, completing any remaining pastoral and administrative duties and attending General Assembly and MInistry Days (virtually this year). That will complete my three years as your contract minister.

Please reach out if you would like a private conversation with me before I leave. I am always available remotely by phone or zoom, or we can make an appointment during my time in town.

This has been the most personally satisfying ministry of my career! It will be hard to say, “Goodbye”!

In wisdom, grace, and hope,

Rev. Ruth
