Aloha KUMC! In his leer

to the Philippians, the

Apostle Paul writes:

I thank my God every me

I remember you. In all my

prayers for all of you, I

always pray with

joy because of your

partnership in the gospel

from the first day unl

now, being confident of

this, that he who began a

good work in you will carry it on to compleon unl

the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:3-6).

In this my final KKP arcle I too want to say thank

you. Im so grateful for the ways that you have

embraced me and my family. Im so grateful for

your love and support. Im so grateful for your

partnership in the gospel.

Thank you fellow KUMC staff for all that you do.

Thank you Church Council leaders for your me and

commitment.

Thank you ministry team chairs and ministry team

members

Thank you members of SPRC, Trustees, and Finance.

Thank you Sunday school teachers and children

ministry volunteers.

Thank you preschool staff, board members and

parents.

Thank you small group leaders, hosts and members.

Thank you choir and praise team.

Thank you welcoming team.

Thank you liturgists, acolytes, and coffee stewards.

Thank you ushers, counters, and sanctuary

As the Apostle Paul expressed, Im not only grateful

for you but also confident of what God can and will

do in you. God began the good work that is going on

in KUMC, and God will carry it forward. In fact, God

has more in store for KUMC than we can even

imagine. As Paul writes in Ephesians 3:20-21:

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more

than all we ask or imagine, according to his

power that is at work within us, to him be glory in

the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all

generaons, for ever and ever! Amen.

What can you imagine happening through KUMC?

God can do even more! Our five years together have

been just one chapter in the story that God is

wring here. Its a great story, an amazing story, and

I cant wait to hear about what happens next.

Im so grateful for our partnership and so hopeful

for our future.

With deep love and gratude,

Pastor Tim
