☩ Pastor Hansen's Retirement Thanks ☩
Dear People of God,
I would like to thank everyone for the many thoughtful cards, notes and kind wishes I have received. They are deeply appreciated. Vincent and I are especially grateful for the generous gift card for the Golden Pheasant Inn and the enclosed gift. We feel truly blessed to have been able to share fellowship time with so many of you at the reception following the worship service on June 26. After the public health restrictions of the last two years, it was wonderful to be able to finally gather together again to remember and celebrate the many ministries we have shared. Please know that the people of Upper Tinicum Lutheran Church will always be in our hearts and prayers. 

God’s blessings & peace,
Pastor John Hansen &
Vincent Spiritosanto
