On January 31, 2010, we wished Karen Young, our Minister of Discipleship, a fond farewell after over 10 years in ministry at Lovely Lane. Karen received a call from the bishop and his cabinet to serve as the pastor of Embury and Donnellson United Methodist Churches in SE Iowa. This transition also puts Karen on the path to becoming an Elder.  Congratulations, Karen -- and THANK YOU!

You can listen to the words of witness shared about Karen by members of the congregation, as well as the Children's sermon about saying goodbye, from worship on this day in the Sermons & Worship Audio section of our Website. Scroll to the January audio listings on that page.
