"To everything there is a season..." (Ecc 3:1).  After 17 years of faithful service at WAC, Pastor Paul has announced his retirement, which will take effect on May 1, 2026.  We give thanks to God for his leadership, teaching and care for our church family.  We also look forward with excitement to see how God will use him to reach people for Christ beyond retirement. We invite our whole church to pray and to give support to Pastor Paul and Margaret during this season of transition.

「凡事都有定期,天下萬務都有定時。」(傳道書 3:1)
經過在高宣長達17年的忠心服事,趙牧師已正式宣佈退休,將於2026年5月1日生效。我們感謝他的帶領、教導和對教會群體的牧養;我們也懷著期待的心,看神如何在他退休後繼續使用他,將福音帶給更多人。請弟兄姊妹在這個過渡期間為趙牧師和師母代禱求神帶領 。
