I just spoke with a certain board member how that a very prolific UPC pastor has not indeed turned over his church to his son in law, nor is he experiencing the effects of Alzheimer's Disease, dementia, or senility.
During a board meeting this past Tuesday, the pastor made a joke by writing the names of each member on a manilla folder and placing it at their seat like a name plaque, teasing he did so because people were saying he was losing it and he wanted to make sure he remembered everyone!
Plainly said, he is not retiring or resigning from any of his offices either...
I say this is good news!
