Closing
To be honest, there are no other areas where I feel I have been particu- larly ineffective as your pastor, so I'm not going to manufacture one just to seem humble or self-aware! By all means feel free to let me know if there are things you'd like to see me do better. I know I am diligent and com- mitted and hardworking, but of course I'm just another imperfect person with plenty of shortcomings and areas in which I hope to continue to evolve and grow. Most of those that I'm aware of however are more personal than professional. For example, I need to exercise more and have more fun in my life and probably have some kind of social life! But that's not a work thing and I have LOTS of love and friendship in my life. I'm involved in a lot of things, but I'm not a workaholic. I'm really a very happy and con- tent and fulfilled person, and for that I'm grateful to God first and fore- most, but also to wife and leaders and to our congregation. You all make it easy and joyful to be your pastor, and as I tell my colleagues, I pastor the best church people. To state that more meaningfully, I truly feel that I am blessed to serve this congregation.
Thank you, God and thanks to all of you.
It's hard to believe it's been Twenty-Three years!!
To God be the glory for the great things He has done!
Yours in Christ, Bishop Dr. Godfrey A. Stubbs.
