Many of you will remember John, a longtime member of St. Mark's and "the breakfast crew" who moved to Australia some years ago. Sadly, John lost his battle to cancer, passing away earlier this week. Please hold his family in your prayers.

Into thy hands, O merciful Savior, we commend thy servant John. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech thee, a sheep of thine own fold, a lamb of thine own flock, a sinner of thine own redeeming. Receive him into the arms of thy mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light. Amen.
