Responsive Psalm 66:1-9 1 Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth; 2 sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise. 3 Say to God, How awesome are your deeds! Because of your great power, your enemies cringe before you. 4 All the earth worships you; they sing praises to you, sing praises to your name. Selah 5 Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds among mortals. 6 He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. There we rejoiced in him, 7 who rules by his might forever, whose eyes keep watch on the nations let the rebellious not exalt themselves. Selah 8 Bless our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard, 9 who has kept us among the living, and has not let our feet slip. 5

I am deeply touched and honoured to receive the tributes and gratitude for my work here at YP. It was overwhelming to be the recipient of so many kind thoughts and words. The service was beautiful. The reception, with the Stick Drama, the speeches and the video messages set my heart soaring. The gift of the beautiful pottery platter will be a constant reminder of the warmth and joy I have experienced here. In some ways I feel like I have been a conductor. I am the one who organizes and directs a whole team of people. But, I cannot do the work of caring for, and teaching children without the help of many loving and generous teens and adults. The retreats, the mission projects, the Gatherings, Christmas and Easter celebrations all take many willing hands to make them a success. I am deeply grateful for the people who have given time, energy and prayer to these many ministries. Thank you! Thank you! I will miss you, my Yorkminster Park family. 8
