Dear friends,
It is with great sadness that I share the news that Tom Traynor died this morning. Tom and his wife Laura were two of the newest members of our parish family. They had just begun attending the 10am service this Spring and had become very involved in the Seniors Group. Funeral arrangements will be announced. Please keep Tom, Laura, and all their family and friends in your prayers.
Gracious God, we come before you this day in pain and sorrow. We grieve the loss of Tom, a precious human life. Give your grace to those who grieve, especially Laura, that they may find comfort in your presence and be strengthened by your Spirit. Be with this your family as they mourn, and draw them together in your healing love; in the name of the one who suffered, died, and rose for us, Jesus our Savior. Amen.
