From Darrell's “Desk”
Written by Darrell's desk as dictated to Janet Dickson
Darrell's Desk
Where did he go?
I'm all alone.
Just me, the chair, the telephone.
No files of papers everywhere,
no pens or pencils in my care.
No candy dish?
No candy dish!
How could it all have come to this?
No parting song? No parting gifts?
He's done with me. So sad, so sad.
Hold back my tears. I miss that lad!
Alone I am until the day
when someone comes to lead the way.
Who will it be that God will call
to do God's work, for big and small?
Alone I am, still missing him;
His jokes, his laugh. I'm feeling grim.
Although alone, I wish him well
to relax and enjoy what? Time will tell.
Retirement calls. New adventures begin.
May each day forward start with a grin.
Rev. Darrell Maguire has retired from ministry after 38 years. A celebration of his career on June 22nd included all 5 churches that he served. His last worship service with us was June 29th, 2025.
We wish Darrell and Laura a wonderful and blessed future.

pastor.
