Disclaimer! Let's be clear--by "old friend" I mean she has been a friend of PCMK for a long time, not that she is old!
On Sunday PCMK welcomed Dr. Susan Andrews, General Presbyter of Hudson River Presbytery, to worship and fellowship with us. We made the most of her time as she taught the confirmation youth about Presbyterian Polity (who better!) and then preached an amazing Easter sermon on John 20. She was surrounded with well-wishers in the coffee hour and then Elisabeth and I took her to lunch.
We were glad and proud to have her with us on Sunday. Glad because she is weeks away from retirement as our Presbytery leader. Proud because she is a distinguished national leader of our denomination as well. Her wisdom and experience will be missed in Hudson River, and I will miss her as a colleague and friend.
Dozens of PCMK members signed our well-wishes as did the session at its last meeting. Dr. Andrews was a true friend to this church in times of transition and she will not be forgotten. If you would like to add your message of appreciation, just email the church office and we will forward along with the others.
See you in church,
Pastor Dale
