Grace and peace to you and your loved ones. It has my honor and pleasure to have served in the West Ohio Conference UMC while you have been in leadership. Your passion for Christ and for the transforming power of the church in connection is inspiring. I Wish you well and God speed into your next chapter.

Happy Retirement!
Thank you, Bishop Palmer, for being a steady source of good will, love, acceptance and calm during these many years. Disaffiliation was a terrible experience in my (previous) home church (of 30 years), causing me to join a more accepting, loving home church (The Church for All People) which I firmly believe is where God wants me to be, and the scars and pain of leaving my previous church are great, but OUR GOD is greater. You have shown incredible leadership, equanimity, justice and God's good will to any and all during this time and we are SO very grateful. May God continue to bless you and your family in the years to come. Mrs Palmer: behind every successful pastor there are those who share them with the world, and that's not always easy to do. Thank YOU for your generous spirit and steadfast support which made his work possible.
