What I Would Say If I Was Leaving

by Rev. Roger Bertschausen

Ten years ago almost to the day, I gave a sermon with this title. I talked about ministers who speak the real, sometimes hard truth once they’ve announced they’re leaving. Since I hadn’t had that opportunity and it didn’t feel like I’d have the opportunity anytime soon, I announced my departure–at an unknown time–and said what I felt needed to be said. Well, now that the departure date is set, I have an opportunity to do this sermon for real! A high point of the Sunday services will be the premiere by our choir of a piece written by our own Jay Thomas, “Greater From the Difference.”
