My farewell

As many of you know, I am engaged and will be married this

coming June. Together, my fianc and I have prayerfully discerned
that the Lord is calling us to Tyler, Texas, in order for him to
pursue a Masters Degree at the University of Texas-Tyler. While
we feel very blessed to have been gifted this incredible
opportunity, it is with a heavy heart that I must bid the UCC and
Austin farewell at the end of May. This community has
welcomed me and helped me grow in my personal faith more than
I ever thought I would upon moving to Texas two years ago.
Thank you all for having made the UCC feel like home to me. I am
truly honored to have served you as Director of Development!
(And if you ever find yourself in East Texas, please dont be a
stranger! ) God bless, and hook em horns!
