Farewell for the Goodwins

[Jeremy Scott]

As you know, Rev. Betty Jean Goodwin is being installed as the pastor at Worcester First Church of the Nazarene on Sunday.  Whether preaching, playing the drums or organ, dedicating tireless and skilled labor in the parsonage and church building, or "being there" in difficult times, Paul & Betty Jean have been instrumental members of the North Street Community. 

We will be having a farewell on Saturday evening for them.  Hope to see you there!

Peace in Christ,
Pastor Jeremy

Here's a note from Carol Newell re: the farewell -

Hello Friends -

As many of you might already know, Betty Jean Goodwin has accepted the Senior Pastorate of the Worcester Church of the Nazarene. Obviously, Paul will be going with her! She has been the interim Pastor in Worcester now for several months and not at our church but we want to wish them the best and let them know we'll miss them.    

SO...I know it's kind of late notice but the only night that worked out for Paul & Betty Jean is this next Saturday, Nov. 14.  She will be installed as Pastor in Worcester the next day, Nov. 15.  We are going to have a gathering at the Newell Gathering Room beginning at 6:30 for anyone who would like to come and share some food and fellowship.  If you can bring along something to share foodwise that'd be great...I think the Newell family will bring some spaghetti (made by Debbie Runion, of course!) and bread...some chili sounds good..and/or some snacks and desserts.  Nothing fancy.  Goodwin's aren't the fancy type...so just come and enjoy their company.

Another thing I thought might be fun.....bring a small "white elephant" gift that will remind them of Hingham...sea shells, stones from the parking lot, a picture of your family, use your imagination.  The idea is to have fun!

I hope you can make it.  If you see that there are people I didn't invite it's because I don't have the email address and I'd love for you to forward this on to people who might like to come!

Questions....give me a call!
