David Green's Retirement
Chaplain David Green is retiring on December 6th, 2024, after serving as the Central Oregon Public Safety Chaplaincy (COPSC) Executive Chaplain full-time for the past 3 years, Associate Chaplain for 1 year, and almost 6 years in the ministry. The Central Oregon Public Safety Chaplaincy Board of Directors is excited for Chaplain Green. The COPSC Board of Directors will appoint Associate Chaplain Richard Ross to the COPSC Executive Chaplain position and will be searching for a new Associate Chaplain. 15 dedicated and exceptional volunteer chaplains support Chaplain Ross.
A quick word from Chaplain Green:
I want to say that it is an absolute honor to serve you all as the Executive Chaplain. I truly care about you all and love my daily visits. With that said, it is time for me to step away and retire from the chaplaincy. I have been a huge advocate for always putting your health and family first. As much as I am grateful to serve each of you and given the gift to come alongside families that are experiencing their worst days, my cup is full. As Chaplain Ross and I say, I have too many penguins on my island and they ain’t jumping off quick enough. I will be taking a needed month-long vacation to Thailand with my beautiful bride (Thanittha) and my boys in the month of December. I will return in January and start working for the family business in Environmental Management. I am very excited for this next step in my family’s life. My boys are playing in travel baseball which starts this winter, and I will be volunteer coaching the 10U team.
I’ll make sure not to be a stranger. So, if you see a weird-looking guy waving at you in your rigs, it might be me (just no Dodge Durango anymore, lol). Please continue to support COPSC and our amazing volunteer chaplains as it is much needed as they continue to serve all of you.
God Bless You All,
Chaplain David
