Ladies and Gentlemen,
We gather
here today with mixed feelings as we bid farewell to a person who has
been instrumental in the spiritual nurturing and development of our
congregation. Our beloved Pastor [insert Pastor's name] is leaving us.
He has been reassigned to serve another flock in a different
surrounding, away from his familiar grounds, amongst unfamiliar faces.
Pastor
[insert Pastor's Name], your departure leaves us with a void that will
be hard to fill. Your unwavering faith, compassion, wisdom, and
commitment to serving the Lord have been a beacon of light for all of
us. Your teachings, rooted in love and empathy, have showed us the way
many times over. You reminded us that God’s grace is there for the
taking, that it is on us to reach out and accept it.
As we
reflect on the time we've shared with you, we are overcome with a deep
sense of gratitude. You have baptized our children, counselled us in
times of trouble, comforted us in times of sorrow, and celebrated with
us in times of joy. You have been our spiritual guide and more than a
shepherd, you have been a friend to each and every one of us.
Though
it is hard for us to let go, we understand that the calling to serve
the Lord is not bound by geographical constraints or familiar
surroundings. You indeed are a living testament to Matthew 28:19, "Go
therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."
We take
comfort in knowing that another parish will benefit from your grace and
wisdom. As you prepare to embark on this new chapter of your life,
taking your endless energy, your devotion and your profound faith with
you, we pray that God continues to guide and bless you. May your new
journey be filled with God’s divine anointing as you guide another
congregation in their spiritual journey.
Learning is continual
process, and so is teaching. May you spread the divine wisdom and love
to all the new parishes you would be gracing with your presence.
When
we gather here again, your spirit will be deeply missed. We shall miss
your resonant voice echoing through this holy space, your thoughtful
sermons and warm humor, the passion with which you tread His path.
However, every Sunday, when we stand here together, we will remember you
in our prayers and keep your lessons in our hearts.
Goodbye,
dear Pastor [insert Pastor's name]. You go with God's blessings and our
prayers. May His grace always be with you and guide you in your journey
as you change lives and lead others to His eternal light.
Here’s to our Pastor, our guide, our friend. Here’s to new beginnings and beautiful ends.
