Special Prayers Requested         September 29, 2014          Please pray for the Rev. Canon Andrew Rank who had major surgery last Friday and is in the ICU. He's doing well. If you would like to send a card, please mail it to: The Rev. Canon Andrew Rank, PO Box 34548, San Diego, CA 92163-4548. Prayers are also appreciated for the Rev. Patricia Underkofler, whose husband, Alan Underkofler, is dying. Deacon Pat asks that we pray for a holy death and that we pray for his daughter, Jennifer, and his sister, Robin, who are close to Alan and having a hard time. Ms. Lyn Johnson, parishioner at St. Francis, Pauma Valley and current president of Episcopal Church Women in this diocese, is receiving hospice care. Prayers appreciated for her and her loved ones. Continued prayers for Nate Madsen, son of the Rev. David Madson, rector of St. Alban's, El Cajon, who was in a motorcycle accident earlier this month. Thank you for keeping these dear ones in your prayers. Almighty God, we entrust all who are dear to us to thy never-failing care and love, for this life and the life to come, knowing that thou art doing for them better things than we  can desire or pray for; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (BCP, 831) Hannah Wilder, Diocesan Communications Director
