RETIREMENT ANNOUNCEMENT
Tomorrow at my church I will announce my retirement plans. I hope it is received in the way the leaders and I intend. In my prevous Post I explained my reasoning and how it will be done. I can't help wonder what the reaction will be. Of course some are already aware of the transition plans. But some are not. When the sermon is over I hope everyone present understands how right this is for the church and how the timing of it all is right.
A Preacher once said, "I stayed at my church for 44 years. It should have been 40!" I don't want that to be said of me.
There are three ways for a minister to leave a church. He can be carried out, kicked out or walk out. I want to walk out.
In my next Post in this Journal I'll let you know how it all went--at least from my pespective.
Jim
