Prayers for Colleen & Neil

It is with deep sadness that I must tell you that Rev Colleen’s husband Grant died at home suddenly last night from a heart attack. His passing was swift and painless.  

It was so evident yesterday how joyful and proud Grant was as he participated in Colleen’s ordination service. Many of you spoke with him at the reception and have told me how he positively glowed with pride – I saw the same thing when we spoke. Colleen and Grant were lifelong soulmates, finishing each other’s sentences and sharing the same quirky sense of humour. Colleen and Grant are longstanding members of the Church of the Advent. Grant will leave a huge gap in all of our lives.  

Please hold Colleen and Neil in your prayers in the days and months to come. Funeral details are yet to be finalized.  

Rev Ingrid
