Dear Congregation in Hull: As we spend our last Sunday with you, we wanted to express our great love for you all. Thank you for all that you have done for our family over the past 21 years. You have cried with us and prayed for us through the trials God was pleased to give us. You also celebrated with us in our times of joy. We treasure the many acts of kindness and the friendships which we have made. We go forward in faith believing that our faithful God will continue to care for you and bless you as we are separated from each other for a time. Please stop in and visit us in Michigan! With much love always, Dave and Susan King and family – II Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
