Monday morning, April 6, 2015Dear Members and Friends,

I have the privilege of teaching a course at Stevenson School to seniors who are about to graduate and go off to the next step in their academic career. Its title is: Living Successfully with Loss. Change doesn’t come easily to most of us, and yet it is a constant for each and every one of us. Some of the changes are pleasant and even planned—but others are surprises; some are shocking and hard to accept—while others present a new horizon for us and are full of promise and excitement. I wish you the best as we go through some changes in the life of the Church in the Forest.

See you in church,

William B. Rolland
