Prayers for Butch
Posted by Wallace+
It is with a sad heart that I share the news with you that Butch Griner died last night.
As the staff of St. Paul's prayed together this morning, we remembered and gave thanks for Butch's warm, big-hearted presence, and for his gracious service to God's children in need. In the nine years that Butch has served St. Paul's, he has touched thousands of lives through his ministry with the Emmaus Walk-In Lunch program and the St. Paul's Food Pantry, through his friendship to those in the St. Paul's community, and through his living example of patience, compassion, and kindness. We all will miss Butch terribly, and we will pray for Linda, his loving partner, and for all those who grieve.
Butch's service will be held at St. Paul's, on Tuesday, August 9, at 2:00 p.m. We hope you will be able to join us.
Grant, O Lord, to all who are bereaved the spirit of faith and courage, that they may have strength to meet the days to come with steadfastness and patience; not sorrowing as those without hope, but in thankful remembrance of your great goodness, and in the joyful expectation of eternal life with those they love. And this we ask in the Name of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
