Christian faith.
OCTOBER 2014
October, 201
Knightsville United Methodist Church is going through a
change, as you know Pastor Keith has returned to a job in
private industry. We said our goodbyes and we reflect back
throughout the past fifteen months, we realize that some
people arrive in our lives and leave footprints on our hearts
and we are in no way ever the same.
The hardest part of any friendship is when it's time to say
goodbye. As much as we might like things to stay the same,
change is an inevitable part of life. Goodbyes are not forever,
goodbyes are not the end they simply mean I’ll miss you until
we meet again.
As we said goodbye to Pastor Keith and his family we would
ask that you keep them in your prayers. We will soon say hello
to our new minister, we ask that you keep him and his family
in your prayers as they join the Knightsville United Methodist
Church family and for this Church to unite and move forward.
