Dear friends of St. Stephens,

Just a few minutes ago Zach, Alan’s close friend called to say that Alan passed away suddenly this morning  at home.  Please keep Alan, Zach, and Sherry and Renee (next door neighbors to Alan) and all their friends in prayer during this time of transition and mourning.

Into your hands, O merciful Savior, we commend your
servant Alan. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech you, a sheep of
your own fold, a lamb of your own flock, a sinner of your
own redeeming. Receive him into the arms of your mercy,
into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the
glorious company of the saints in light. Amen.Peace be with you,
Allison
