Dear St. Philip family,
With great sadness, we have learned that former St. Philip member, longtime Glenview resident, and friend of the congregation Bruce Burch has died earlier this week on Monday, July 19. We surround Bruce's family, especially his wife Alice and their children, with prayers and love in this time of grief and loss. Trusting the hope and promise of the resurrection, we take heart that Bruce now rests in the eternal love of God.
Rest eternal grant Bruce, O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon him.
As St. Paul reminds us, "For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38-39).
In Christ's peace,
Pastor Josh Evans
