St. Peter the Apostle Anglican Church lost one of our cherished members, Earl Dunn, this past Thursday afternoon. Earl will be missed greatly by all of us and most especially by Rose Marie.
Please keep Rose Marie in your prayers as she grieves the loss of her beloved husband. Also pray for the departed soul of Earl and remember all those he left behind.
REQUIEM aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei. Requiescat in pace.
Amen.
ETERNAL rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.
Amen.
Unto God's gracious mercy and protection we commit you. The LORD bless you and keep you. The LORD make his face to shine upon you , and be gracious unto you. The LORD lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace, both now and evermore.
Amen

In order to accommodate out of state family, the funeral service including Holy Communion will take place on Saturday, June 17. More information on this service will posted in the near future.
