Dear Rabbi Steve,

It is with great joy that we celebrate the service you have given to us at Sanctuary Messianic.  You have daily lived out your commitment to the Lord, and to us, and we cannot thank you enough for that.  You have shown love, encouragement, support, leadership; you have shared in our marriages, and in our sorrows.  You have never wavered in your dedication, through good times and bad.

There is also some sadness here, for you will be greatly missed!  For twenty years you have led this congregation and things will feel strange without you.  But we can take comfort in knowing you leave us in good hands. 

Thank you for all you have done.  Thank you for being our Rabbi. 

May the Lord bless you richly, and abundantly, as you begin this new phase in your life! 

Congregation Sanctuary Messianic
