Celebrating Kirk and Sarah By Pastor Kevin Labby Recently, First Free Church hosted a celebration event honoring Pastor Kirk and Sarah Albrecht for their faithful years of ministry at First Evangelical Free Church. We did so before Pastor Kirk's transition to a new position as Head of School at Grove City Christian Academy later this spring. We want to thank all those whose combined and largely behind-the-scenes e orts made this beautiful event possible. It was, rst to last, a meaningful tribute to two dear souls and the God who graciously sent them to us. We also want to thank those who generously contributed to our recent special o ering. Finally, we want to thank all those who attended this event or, if unable to do so, sent notes or recorded expressions of appreciation. Pastor Kirk and Sarah: no matter where God leads you, we will always count you as part of the First Free Church Family.
