So Long, Farewell
There is usually a bit of angst when someone receives their vicarage assignment, especially when that somewhere is far away from home. For me that angst was increased because I was being cast out of my ivory tower, away from my textbooks and research of philosophical, cultural and textual minutiae that no one else cares about (nor should they).
I would like to thank you as a congregation for receiving a fledgling like myself into your midst. Memorial has presented many preaching and teaching opportunities that have helped me grow. My vicarage would not have been as successful without the love that you, my brothers and sisters in Christ, have shown me in your words of appreciation, helpful feedback, financial support, and companionship.
Whenever I receive my first call (as I plan to pursue further education after obtaining my M.Div.), know that my experience at Memorial was integral in getting me to that point.
Yours in Christ, Blake Martzowka
