Dear Talmadge Hill Family,

As I mark three months of sojourning here at Talmadge Hill this December, I am deeply grateful to be among this accepting community of faith and to witness the spiritual depth that is truly transformational. One of my greatest joys has been working with Rob—experiencing his creativity and intentionality in expressing his spirituality through his musical talent, and witnessing his deep love and commitment to Talmadge Hill.

This Sunday during Advent, we will incorporate a celebration of Rob's remarkable ministry into our worship. Rob will preach, reflecting on thirty years of service through the lens of our mission—To know the love of God and share it—using 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 as his text.

A single Sunday cannot fully honor Rob's contribution—or the collaborative ministry partnerships that have sustained our worship life. In early 2026, after the holidays, we will gather for a time of fellowship, music, and the opportunity to share gratitude and memories to celebrate Rob—more details to come.

It's not too late to submit your 2025 pledge. Rob's celebration of 30 years reminds us of the commitment and transformational spirit that have sustained Talmadge Hill across generations. Your financial gifts not only support our ministry in the year to come—they ensure that Talmadge Hill remains a beacon of God's extravagant love for generations yet to arrive. Thank you for your generosity and faithfulness to this community.

See you on Sunday!

Mooi Loop,

Dries
