Parishioners who are leaving a congregation can use this church goodbye letter to bid farewell to the community.
I wish we didn't have to go. This church has been like a second home to me and my family over the last {amount of time}. The community supports and the love of God have been an enormous source of comfort and relief during {difficult time period}.
Unfortunately, {I got a new job/spouse has to take care of a sick relative, children got accepted into special school}. I know we can never find another community as close and loving as this one, but I believe that God has a plan for all of us and that we will all continue to serve that plan faithfully, wherever we end up.
Thanks especially to {Pastor/Priest/etc. Name}. {He/she} has been an inspiration and has worked tirelessly for all of us. We will truly miss you all, and we will keep you in our prayers.
We're always adding new printables, and would love to hear your suggestions. What are we missing?
