Dear JCPC Family,

I want to say thank you for the wonderful recognition of my retirement that took place yesterday after worship. To everyone involved in planning and leading such a wonderful event, I want to express my appreciation and let you know how much it meant to me and to my family. Each speaker said something meaningful and heartfelt. The many gifts were unexpected and much appreciated. I will treasure them. The monetary gifts that I know so many of you shared were so generous. Thank you! And the honor of having the church library named after me was truly inspiring.

I will continue to pray for Johns Creek Presbyterian Church, giving thanks for our time together and praying for God’s guidance as you select your next pastor. May God bless you all!

Finally, you may have already heard that the Rev. Dr. Larry Wood -- founding pastor of this church, died on Sunday afternoon. Larry did an excellent job getting this church started. He will be greatly missed by those who loved him. Please keep his wife Helen and all of his family in your thoughts and your prayers.
