Deacon Tim's Surgery
As the congregation is aware, Deacon Timon Barr will be undergoing surgery on Friday, June 25th. Although Tim is naturally in St. Gabriel's prayers at all times, let us all especially keep him in our thoughts and prayers tomorrow during his surgery and throughout his recovery.

Church Bells to Ring on Friday
President Reagan's family has requested that churches throughout the nation ring their bells on Friday to coincide with the National Cathedral's bells, which will ring at the conclusion of the funeral:
The family issued a statement saying they would like churches everywhere to join in when the bells of the National Cathedral begin to toll 40 times in honor of Reagan, who was the nation's 40th president.
The cathedral bells will ring starting in the capital at approximately 1:15 p.m. EDT Friday.

Out of respect for our former President and his family, St. Gabriel's will ring its bells to coincide with the National Cathedral, at approximately 12:15 CST on Friday, June 11th. We ask that you please take a moment at that time to pray for the soul of our departed President, who has joined his Father in Heaven at last.

Farewell Deacon Jon
Sunday, June 13th will be The Reverend Mister Jon Hunter's last Sunday with us, now that Reverend Michael has taken over as Rector of St. Gabriel's. There will be a pot luck luncheon during Coffee Hour in honor of Deacon Jon.
Deacon Jon will be ordained as priest on Saturday, September 18, 2004 and will thereafter become Rector of his own church -- All Saints Anglican Church in Pittsburg, KS. St. Gabriel's congregation is invited to attend Jon's ordination at All Saints in September. News on arrangements for this exciting opportunity will be forthcoming.
During our Church's time of transformation, Deacon Jon has helped bring us together. We have all appreciated the lessons learned from him during Church School, and we will miss the hard work, the great friendship and the happy smiles of both himself and his wife Paula.
