We were very sad to learn of the death, on March 17, 2022, of the Rev. John Rushton. His service is scheduled for April 9, 2 pm, at St. Augustine's-Parkland, 131 Church Road in Spruce Grove. During his ministry, John faithfully served in the Anglican Dioceses of Kootenay and Edmonton. He was a retired priest of the Edmonton diocese and an honorary assistant at St. Augustine's-Parkland. Please keep Elizabeth and the Rushton family in your prayers.
Loving and merciful God,
We entrust our brother John to your mercy.
You loved him greatly in this life;
Now that he is freed from all its cares give him happiness
and peace for ever.
The old order has passed away;
Welcome him into paradise
Where there will be no more sorrow,
No more weeping or pain,
But only peace and joy
With Jesus, Your Son,
And the Holy Spirit,
For ever and ever
Amen.
blessings, Bishop Stephen
