Choir's Presentation at the Farewell Celebration
Choir’s Presentation at the Farewell Celebration, Lyrics Courtesy of Dr. Nancy Cooper
(To the tune of "I sing a song of the saints of God")
I sing a song of two saints of God, Terri and Gretchen, too!
They taught and preached and cared and worked
for the church they loved and knew!
They led us through covid, with a weekly zoom
Led communion in a pasture, brought joy from gloom,
Their smiles sent hope in our hearts to bloom,
It's amazing what they could do.
________________________
They loved their church so dear, so dear,
& this love made them strong;
They shepherded us all through challenge and growth
The whole of their tenures long!
One led children’s ministries, and was ordained a priest,
One blessed all the animals, tho’ none were fierce wild beasts! (except maybe the corgis!)
And there's no single person, not in the least,
Who could co-rector us like them!
________________________
They've loved our church for years now past & love us all yet still.
The world is bright with the work of these saints
Who love to do Jesus' will.
We’ll think of them at services, in classes, and then we
will remember how we all grew in communi-TEE!
For Terri and Gretchen are saints and we,
We thank them, yes we do!
