MESSAGE FROM THE KEEPERS
Dear Trinity Family: Thank you so much for such a meaningful final Sunday as your lead pastor! Tammy and I were humbled by your kindness and generosity. Thank you also for the incredibly thoughtful cards, the beautiful kintsugi peice, and the generous financial gift. Thank you for loving our family so well from the beginning to the end. We love you and will miss you. Know that we hold you in our hearts, and we will be praying for you in this transition. We trust that God will be faithful. I will be taking the month of May for a sabbatical (with a good amount of travel), then we will pack up and move to Holland the third week of June. Thank you again for making last Sunday so special! Love, The Keepers
