At our annual advisory meeting with the District Superintendent, we requested to move in June 2019, when Methodist pastors in the North Carolina Conference rotate.

The next several months will be lovely months as we think of all the great things we have accomplished together in the Kingdom of God. Together, you and I have been used in mighty ways by the Lord, and that is to be celebrated. Duck Church is among the most wonderful churches in the Southeastern United States, and I will miss being your pastor when June comes.

We do not yet know who the next pastor at Duck UMC will be, but you can rest assured it will be one of the best pastors our Conference has to offer. We will find out who our next pastor will be after Easter, and that is also when I will expect to know what my next assignment will be.

We have many months before it is time to say farewell. So the next six months are a good time to enjoy one another, to reflect on how far we have come together, and to anticipate what lies ahead.

With love to each of you,
