Paul Radobenko retired from Huntsburg (Ohio) Baptist Church, where he was pastor.
The church held a celebration May 5, marking not only Paul’s retirement but also his 11th year as pastor of the church; his first day of ministry at the church had been May 5, 2013.
“This May 5 is the beginning of the next chapter for Joyce and me,” Paul told the congregation.
Paul had served in ministry with his wife, Joyce, for 45 years.
“Joyce has stood by my side and been a key element in ministry all these years,” Paul says. “We are living the reality of Psalm 16:11: ‘In Your presence is fullness of joy.’ ”
At the retirement celebration, Paul and Joyce were delighted to welcome friends and family, including the couple’s two daughters and their families.
