Jenny Johnston 21 January 1947 -24 September 2016

Jenny Johnston passed away at the Mater Hospital, Newcastle on Saturday 24 September after a long battle with cancer. The funeral service for Jenny was celebrated at St. Anne’s Anglican Church, Strathfield Thursday, 29th September 2016.

Jenny was an active and passionate ecumenist serving on the NSW Ecumenical Council for thirty years. Jenny had been integral to the frequent visits to Australia of Br Ghislain and members of the Taizé community.

We pray the prayer that was said for Jenny at the service:

Holy and loving Father,

by your mighty power you gave us life,

and in your love you have given us new life in Christ Jesus

We entrust Jenny to your merciful keeping

in the faith of Jesus Christ,

who died and rose again to save us, and now lives and reigns with you

and the Holy Spirit

in glory forever. Amen.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jenny’s husband Lance and family at this time.
