Saying Goodbye to Franklyn James

On Sunday November 27, 2022 we will mark the ending of the covenant between Franklyn James, Lynn Valley United Church, and the Pacific Mountain Regional Council. I feel very privileged to be able to take part in this service. I approach this time with both sadness and with gladness. When Franklyn James first arrived here I remember Veronica and I taking him to the Black Bear for lunch and being so very excited by his vision and love of the Lord. His ministry has been a wonderful blessing to me. Our times together in Waves, in policy meetings, with the finance team and the social justice team have all been wonderful and I count Franklyn James as a good friend who I plan on keeping in contact with. It is with sadness I say goodbye to him now but it is with great hope and gladness that I look forward to what God has waiting for him.

I know that there are many here who have appreciated Franklyn James ministry and will miss him. As a suggestion, if you would like to, I would suggest writing a note to give to him on Sunday November 27 letting him know of your feelings. If you are unable to do that you might like to send him a card to his new address:
