Dear Coopers Gap Family:

​

We now come to the end of a sweet shared season of worship and fellowship with you as our church family. We have loved you dearly and have felt a deep love from you. We are grateful for the ways we have grown with you and the ways you have grown as a body of Christ in this time of transition for us, and for you. You have showered us with gifts of affection and filled our hearts with joy. You have invited us to share in your griefs and your celebrations. We have prayed with you and for you, as you have for us. We have been called to a higher standard because of your encouragement for us. We know that God has great things in store for you as you glorify God and reflect that glory for the good of the community in which you live and serve. We are grateful for the many friendships forged in this time with you, and know that those will continue to grow. Our love and prayers remain with you as we ready ourselves for God’s next call of service. In conclusion, the words of the Apostle Paul speak most appropriately for us:

​

I thank my God  in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.  And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. Philippians 3:3-11

​

With hearts full of the love of God you have shared with us, with a vast treasure of memories forged in good and bad times, and with hope formed by the faith we share in Jesus Christ, our King and Savior, we bid you are warm and hearty “until we meet again,” confident of good things for you and for us because of the God and King we serve.

​

Now to Him Who is able to do more than we ask for imagine in the church and through Jesus Christ our Lord, the Only True and Living God, we bid you love and peace until we meet again.
