Till we meet again

It's hard to say goodbye to friends so dear but as we have learned several time in this church, this is a part of life.  God calls us in different directions and where He leads we must follow.  Again, we must say so-long to a family that has been a joyful part of our church family: the Ko family.  Ki-Seok, Mihyeh, Eurah, John and Joshua will be moving back to Korea at the end of January. 

We will have a chance to say our goodbyes at a farewell party on January 16, 2005, after the worship service.  Come and join us for some light refreshments as we wish them well on their journey home to Korea.
