A presentation document

i have re created the introduction letter for my sending church. I could not find the one I wrote in March, so I have written a new one. I need to discuss with the minister when I can present this, but in my view it should not be in the holiday period as so many people are likely to be away, but If I can get it on a weekend in September or even August the 31st that would be good. If this goes ahead and I present it, it will seem strange re introducing myself to a church I first joined 40 years ago and looking around it and seeing faces I do not know, and seeing places where in my mind there is a gap. A gap that was once occupied by individuals who did me good. Who loved me, welcomed me, befriended me and taught me a great deal about God. I say a gap, for they are no longer with us but with the lord. I mean people like Bill and Jean Tait, Michael Blair, Jean Pettigrew, Mrs Allen, and several others. the only people int he place who seem to know me now are the elderly, my brother, his wife and one young man. I have met the current minister several times.
