Last Tuesday was the Staff Appreciation Dinner for BFA.
It was an evening of celebrating the year with a good meal….
and saying goodbye to departing staff.
We also have several staff members leaving for 1-year home assignment due to a taxation/social security law between Germany and the US. They all stood up and we prayed for them.
There is a lot of transition, especially at this time of year. Old friends prepare to leave for a long or short time. Goodbyes are hard.
At the end of the evening, our interim director presented the staff gift: umbrellas!
This has been a very dry spring, but I’m sure the umbrellas will come in handy for the wet weather when it comes.
