This Sunday, Sept 18 is my last service of ministry prior to retirement. There are only a few major milestones in life – birth, graduation, marriage, birth of our children, and retirement. So, this is a once-in-a-life event for me. I hope you will take the time to attend, and help us both to say some goodbyes. We are calling it “Goodbye Garth Sunday” and I anticipate a few tears, and much laughter. The sermon is called “Tales of ministry” and I will share with you some of my most hilarious and poignant memories of ministry, as well as give you some parting faith advice. It will probably be the only time in your life when you will ever hear a minister give their last service, since ministers never really retire . . . . but since we are moving to Ecuador, this is really likely my last service! The choir is back, and has some special music planned as well. And after church, there is a luncheon for those who would like to stay. Come and make a memory.
