	Diocese of the Great Lakes News All Saints Lay Readers Line-up  The DGL parish of All Saints in Traverse City, MI has a large number of active lay readers to assist their rector Rev. Kurt Henle and his curate Rev. Winston Rowlette. Most of them were there for this picture a few weeks ago, however they have two others not pictured here!   +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thornapple Manor Services Continuing  Each Sunday and Tuesday the diocese provides Evening Prayer services for the residents of Thornapple Manor, a nursing home a few miles out of Hastings, MI. Recently covid-19 caused the suspension of services for a week or so, but happily they have begun again.        Some Thornapple Manor residents at a recent service. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// A Crisis of Meaning - Nick Acker DGL VERGER'S NEW BOOK   Ss. Andrew & Matthias Verger Nick Acker has written a  book  called "A Crisis of Meaning" . It is an apology for traditional religion and tells the story of his personal coming to faith in Christ. It can be ordered on Amazon. +++++++++++++++++++++ Mr. Peter Hunt Peter Hunt MOST merciful Father, who hast been pleased to take unto thyself the soul of thy faithful servant Peter; Grant to us who are still in our pilgrimage, and who walk as yet by faith, that having served thee with constancy on earth, we may be joined hereafter with thy blessed saints in glory everlasting; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.   All Saints in Traverse City, MI  reports that one of their founding members Mr. Peter Hunt has been called home to the Lord. He will be sadly missed by the people of the parish where he was the long time treasurer. He has also been serving on the Diocese of the Great Lakes Standing Committee for several years. I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me, Write, From henceforth blessed are the dead who die in the Lord: even so saith the Spirit; for they rest from their labours.   _________________________________ ***** The Diocese of the Great Lakes Saltire & Halberd  Newsletter is now on line !!
