Dave retired! His last Sunday preaching was November 18, then the retirement celebration was December 2. We headed down to California on Friday. Joshua had band practice Friday night and Saturday morning because the old church band got back together to play for the occasion. Sunday morning everything went well. It was a lot of fun to have the band lead worship, and our family got to light the advent candle. Things were festive and fun. Following the service, there was a luncheon and short program that included some presentations and people sharing memories about Dave's 36 years at Trinity and other ministry, including this gem from the old Calvin Crest days that Mark Nazarian shared during his talk:
It was neat to hear all the stories and memories; some were funny, others touching, but they all reflected a deep commitment to service and love for others.
