Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)

Raymond Bailey, our dear brother in the Lord and good friend, died today, Thursday, 23 July, at 12:05 p.m. at the Riverview Health Centre in Winnipeg.  He was surrounded by loving family.  Please keep them all in your prayers, his beloved wife Barbara, his children and their partners, and all his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, in this time of sorrow.

Further details on funeral date and time will be forthcoming as soon as they are available.  The service will be held here at St. John’s Anglican Cathedral, a church he loved and served well through many, many years.  We will miss you, Ray, but, even as we grieve your dying, we rejoice with you in your life forever safe in Christ.

May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
