This week, St. Mark’s will be saying goodbye to Pastor Dale Raatz.

Pastor Dale has been with St. Mark’s for two years and will soon head to Florida to begin the next step to becoming a VA Chaplain.

Good luck to you! We will miss your spiritual guidance, your friendship, and your teachings – not to mention the continued conversation about how the John Deere out performs any other equipment out there. (I am not clear on how well his conversion to green and yellow attempts have been.)

Our prayers go with you. We will miss you and Terri and wish you both well.”May the road rise up to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.”
