Of the 19 retirees this year, four are women, two are a clergy couple retiring together, one was a Minister of Music. Their years of service add up to more than 565 years, according to the Office of Pensions and Health Benefits; which means an average length of faithful service is more than 29 years. In that time, a clergyperson could preach more than 1,450 sermons.
The retirees will be honored at a luncheon May 21 and the upcoming annual conference session.
