We pray for the family of Reverend Dick E. Hamlin, who died Monday morning, May 3, 2021. We especially pray for his wife Jayne.

Pastor Hamlin was born March 17, 1932, and ordained May 22, 1958. He was a long-time Grand Canyon Synod clergy member and former pastor of Shepherd of the Valley in Phoenix.

Clergy who wish to robe and process will gather at 1:30 pm in the choir room. The color of the day (Ascension Day) is white.
