It is with both saddness and hope that we share the news that Father Gordon Reid passed away earlier this week. Father Gordon regularly covered services at Gloria Dei, and his kindness and generosity are well known in our community. He will be dearly missed, and yet we also know that he now stands in glory in the presence of the God who loves him.
A service for Father Gordon will most likely be held at St. Clement's Church; more details will be shared when they are available. Until then, please join us in praying for his repose, and in remembering his example of faithful love.
Almighty God, with whom still live the spirits of those who die in the Lord, and with whom the souls of the faithful are in joy and felicity: We give you heartfelt thanks for the good examples of all your servants, who, having finished their course in faith, now find rest and refreshment. May we, with all who have died in the true faith of your holy Name, have perfect fulfillment and bliss in your eternal and everlasting glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
