Bon Voyage Pastor Alvin
September 2nd, 2012
I’m headed off to church in just a few minutes, but thought I’d pop in here to share a card before I go. Today is a bittersweet day. We are having a big Labor Day Celebration lunch – fresh grilled tacos by Luis – right after the morning service. But the lunch is also a send-off for the Colston family. Alvin Colston has been our family Pastor for the last 2 1/2 years and he has answered the call of the Lord to serve another congregation.
Pastor Alvin is one of those guys who just lights up a room. He has been tremendously patient and helpful to me in my new Office Manager position. I know the church as a whole will miss him and his entire family. I will especially miss his presence in the office throughout the week.
We had a staff lunch last week that was a combination good-bye to Pastor Alvin and surprise birthday for Pastor Jeff. Jeff had asked me to create a card for Alvin for the staff to sign. Here it is:
I wanted to do something a little light-hearted and I thought “Bon Voyage” would be the perfect sentiment. The stamp set is Bon Voyage from Taylored Expressions.
I know the Lord has great things ahead for our church and for the Colston family, but I can’t help feeling sad today…actually more so than I even expected. I’m heading up the efforts for the lunch today, so I imagine I’ll be too busy to wallow in it. *sigh* I really need to get out the door, but I seem to be dragging my feet a bit. Good-bye’s are never easy. I’m really glad now that I made a happy looking card!
I hope you are enjoying your long weekend. Please be sure to stop in tomorrow, when the Taylored Expressions 4th Birthday Bash will be kicked off. There’s a ton of fun stuff this month. You won’t want to miss a thing!
