As I leave this area, I wish to say to the entire community that it has been a privilege to live and pastor here. This is a wonderful area to raise a family and enjoy “God’s Country.”
My prayer for each of you is that you would truly seek God’s will for your life through His Word, the Bible. Know that your Creator loves you and desires the best for you. Therefore, aligning your life with God’s will is indeed the very best thing you can do for yourself. Jesus Christ makes it possible for us to have a relationship with God.
I also want to thank the wonderful congregation of the First Evangelical Free Church of Onalaska. You are an amazing body of loving, generous, supportive, accepting, joyful and godly people!
It has been a privilege to be one of your pastors for 17 years. I will always love you and cherish our years together. Remember, in the family of God there are no final “goodbyes,” only “see you later” — in heaven one day!
The Rev. David Holt is senior pastor at First Evangelical Free Church, Onalaska.
