It is never easy saying goodbye!
For 15 years we have called this our home church.
After we moved to NVA in 1999 –
it took us over six years to find a place of worship
A place to be happy with and in.

So it came to be – on Sunday – at the end of the service outdoors
in the center of the main parking lot
Pastor Annabel called us forward
to stand befroe the congregation
receive a blessing and say goodbye.

I have never been good at these type of things
First because I did not know what to say
and second – even if I did – I couldn’t
I am emotional –
I write much better than I talk.




For one last time – we gathered as a family and in-laws
to be at our last service before we head South.



We will be back for Christmas if they are having services!
We will search for a church in whatever our new location shall be.

Saying goodbye is never easy
saying hello is much easier

Thank you for reading Papa’s World

WHERE FRIENDS MEET THE FAMILY!

Go in peace – thanks be to God.
