Another chapter is over

Dear Lord,

We thank you for the provision of an interim pastor while we waited for a more permanent pastor. We thank you for Pastor Keith and the ways that he ministered among us this past year. We ask your blessing on him as he begins his interim work in Gardner, KS. We pray that you will be at work in his life and his marriage as he has this long commute. May he come alongside what you are doing in this church where he will be going. May he be your hands and feet, and may this be a partnership with the people of this church. Minister to him as he ministers to others. Bless him and Karen, dear Lord, and keep them in your way.

In the precious and holy name of Jesus,
Amen
