It has been a joy-to serve you. "We have appreciated the response of our young people both in the choir and in their willingness to become involved. The Official Board and the Session, the U.C.W., the Ex- plorers, the Sunday Schools, and the Junior Congregation, have all been 'a great in- spiration. No minister and wife could ask for more, a family we have -had many changes; we have shared our joys and sorrows. We have rejoiced when little ones were born in our midst, and when our young people were married; also, when we received new members into the family. We shared our sympathy when dear ones were called into higher service. ",'Now the time 'has come for us to retire from active service. We thank you all for your love and understanding during these five years, also, we thank all the good people of the entire community.
