FAREWELL from Sue:  Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:”  I have been blessed to be a part of the Decatur Cooperative Ministry staff and community for nearly five years and wanted to let you know that my “season” with this ministry has come to an end.  July 31st is my last day as the DCM Director of Development.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to partner with you in the vital work that is being done at and through Decatur Cooperative Ministry.   I have tremendous gratitude for you, the committed volunteers and donors who help DCM to meet the day-to-day needs in the various programs. 

Thank you for your friendship and thank you for your service to DCM’s neighbors in need.  I am much richer in life for having crossed paths with you and perhaps we will encounter one another again in a different setting.  Peace.
