Dear Friends,
It is with sadness that I share with you that May 17 will be my last Sunday with you. Two weeks ago, the bishop’s office asked me to consider meeting with council of Holy Trinity, Akron. It is a congregation which needs my set of gifts. After meeting with the council, we agreed that on May 24 I begin a new interim ministry at Holy Trinity.
Interim ministry assignments normally last no more than 18 months. I will have been at Canaan almost 29 months. I was with you the length of a short call rather than an interim ministry assignment. I am rather surprised that the bishop’s office let me stay as long as I had.
I have enjoyed my time doing interim ministry, but the hard part is that I have to say goodbye a great deal. It never gets any easier. It will be particularly difficult saying goodbye to you. You are my longest “interim.” Your love has enfolded not just me but also my family. You made my family part of your family. I know you will do the same with your new pastor.
I will always pray for you here at Canaan. May God bless you and continue to guide with the Holy Spirit as you share the love of Jesus among yourselves and those around you.
Blessings, Pastor Dan
