Note from Pastor Jana A few weekends ago, Chase planned a surprise party to celebrate my 40th birthday. He had family and a few friends, who are really like family there for a party. We got to eat delicious food, share stories, open presents, and more. It was a fun time. Turning 40 is a milestone I never imagined would feel this significant! As I pause to reflect on the blessings of this past year, I find my heart deeply grateful for each one of you. Thank you for the warm notes, thoughtful cards, and heartfelt wishes that have poured in—you have truly made this new chapter special. The journey to this milestone has been shaped by many paths, and the privilege of serving as your pastor has been one of the greatest. Every Sunday, every conversation, every moment spent in prayer together reminds me of the unique and loving community we share. This is more than a congregation; it’s a family of faith, one that continues to encourage, support, and inspire me. Looking back over the past few years, I see how God has worked through each of you to teach me, guide me, and show me more of what it means to live out our faith in a real and profound way. Your steadfast love, generosity, and kindness are blessings I cherish. As I step into this next decade, my prayer is to continue serving you with renewed purpose, energy, and love, reflecting the same grace and kindness you have shown me. Thank you for the lovely cards! I am so excited to wear my new stole. I am overwhelmed by your generosity. Thank you for making this milestone so memorable. I look forward to the years ahead with excitement and gratitude, knowing we will continue to grow in faith together. In Christ, Pastor Jana
