Dear Friends, Dear Sisters, and Dear Brothers,
I am sincerely grateful for the warm and heartfelt welcome I received at my licensing service last Sunday. Your hospitality touched me deeply, and I am immensely thankful for it.
On the 1st of October, I am eagerly anticipating my inaugural Sunday service as your chaplain and servant. We will gather to worship and praise the God of creation and of bountiful harvest. It is a moment I am greatly looking forward to.
I am filled with excitement at the thought of seeing you all this coming Sunday.
With blessings and warm regards,
+ Antonio
