Happy Retirement, Pastor Lodge!

“And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding."
(Jeremiah 3:15)

​HAPPY TRAILS!
​
Immanuel OPC hosted a barbecue retirement party for Pastor Neil and Susan Lodge on Saturday, July 13, 2019.  About 70 people attended this special event, which was catered and staffed by Mission BBQ.

The theme was “Happy Trails,” and the tents and tables were decorated with cowboy hats, New Jersey and Texas Flags, and red bandana table runners.  A special cupcake sheet cake and a tray of assorted donuts along with Happy Trail mixes and red bandanas with cowboy boot keychains were given out as “take-away” gifts. 

We closed out the festivities in the church sanctuary with a YouTube slideshow presentation wonderfully done by Jessica McDonald, the Lodge’s daughter in Texas.  Select the video window below to watch:

A closing prayer was given to all who attended thanking them for celebrating Neil and Susan Lodge and for safe travels back home.  We all wish Neil and Susan “Happy Trails,” and God’s blessing to them both.
