Pastor Ken's Last Sunday

After 30 years as the pastor of Tierrasanta Lutheran Church, Pastor Ken Licht is ready to retire! We want this Sunday to be special...

JoAnn Saenz shows up early and ready to sing (and just to show that Jip does go other places than the wilderness...)

Our fearless leader Betsy Frater sets the bells out for us while we get our music ready!

Kathy Stewart and Linda Baldwin handle the Big Guys! L-R: Gayle Ramsey, Betsy Shirazi, Karen Miles, and Marta Meester

"Bless you, my children!" "Alright, who swiped my O Jesus I Have Promised?!"

"Oh, wait'll you see the spread afterwards!"

Pastor Ken in his now-empty office!

Mary Streightiff and Bonnie Brown do some last-minute review while the two Betsys chat!

Mary's ready! L-R: Betsy Shirazi, Carol Sobek, and JoAnn Saenz

We're finally ready to rehearse! The girls give the guys (out of camera-shot) a hard time for showing up late!

Pastor Ken goes all out for his last children's sermon by teaching them a song!

After the service, we tie knots in the Prayer Quilt given to Ken and Marilyn (yes, that's Ken, 30 years ago!)

Ken and Marilyn saying their last good-byes (which Ken informed us is the shortened version of "God be with you"!)

Kathy Stewart and Ruth Cleveland show off the memory book they put together for the Lichts!

Every church celebration has to have a potluck! I join the Browns for the pig-out...
