“Thank you so much to everyone who was involved in the festivities surrounding my retirement. Both weekends were extremely affirming for me as many of you wished me well, passed along stories, gave cards, and showed up to say good-bye. It has been a wonderful 27 years of ministry at SOTV for me and my family. Thanks to all of you with whom I have had the honor and privilege of doing ministry…pastors, staff, volunteers, others. It has been a delight. Our Lord, and this congregation, called me to serve at Shepherd of the Valley as your pastor. I pray that I have been up to the task to which I have been called.”
– Pastor Duane Paetznick (2019)
