Cherbourg councillors joined together on Wednesday to farewell long-serving AIM Pastor Max Conlon, who is moving to Brisbane.<\/p>\n

They thanked him for the work has has done over the years, and bowed their heads as he prayed with them for the future of the community.<\/p>\n

Pastor Max was raised in Cherbourg but his ministry took him away from the town.<\/p>\n

“I wanted to come home,” he told the councillors.<\/p>\n

“I planned to come home for four years and about 24 went by!”<\/p>\n

Pastor Max said he had experienced a lot of joys and happiness in Cherbourg but also a lot of “downs”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, he had always tried to contribute back to the community which he loved.<\/p>\n

Pastor Max said he was moving to Brisbane to assist his wife, who has health issues, but leaving Cherbourg wasn’t an easy decision to make.<\/p>\n

A ministry team would be replacing him but he would still be overseeing the church, as well as helping to train young people in leadership and pastoral ministry.<\/p>\n
