The Rev. Cindy Carter is Re-Retiring!
Dear friends,
When I came out of retirement to take a part-time position at All Saints as Priest Associate, I committed to myself that I would serve two years and then re-evaluate my future after that. This September will be two years since I arrived here, so a month or so ago I began talking with my daughter and two trusted friends to help me discern what that future might be. As those discussions proceeded, I added discussions with a priest friend and my bishop in the Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast.
I have come to the decision that it is time for me to leave my position here and to return to retirement. I want you to know that Brad and I have come to our decisions independently, and we were both surprised when we shared them in a meeting a week or so ago.
My last Sunday at All Saints will be July 13th. I have valued my time here in so many ways, making new friends and renewing relationships from my time here as a lay member in the 1990s. You will always remain in my heart and in my prayers.
Please keep me in your prayers I re-adjust to my life in retirement. I am looking forward to greater flexibility and more time to be with friends and family (interestingly my brother’s last Sunday as a pastor in Lynn Haven will be July 20th), as well as to new adventures and opportunities for service.
In Christ’s Love,
Cindy+
