Thank you from Rev. Rachel

Friends at Union Church, I want to take a moment to say Thank You. I spent hours and hours my first week away from you reading the cards you gave me and cherishing the gifts you shared. My ever-flowing tears were ones of deep gratitude. Please know that each note, message, and gift is dear to me. I already miss you a great deal, and each time I feel it, I say a prayer for you. I tell people regularly that there is no other place like Union Church or Berea, KY. You have taught me so much, and I will always love you and be grateful for you.

With thanks,

Rev. Rachel

P.S. Some have asked for our forwarding address, and we don’t have one yet as we’re temporarily living with family. You are welcome to send things to my new church, though (except hate mail – please send that elsewhere… ha!). Here’s the new contact info:
