Lord Jesus help me as I mourn, comfort me with the knowledge of your love which is stronger than death. Enable me to trust you for the future of my love ones and myself. Help me to cast all of my care on you, knowing that the grave holds no power over those who trust in you. Amen. |

Our most sincere condolences to the family
and friends at this time of loss and sorrow.
The sorrow of the faithful is not that of permanent loss,
but the tender sense of sadness that comes in saying good-bye for now to
someone we love.
May today's sorrow give way to the peace and comfort of God's love.

that you will not wipe away.

During these days of many trials and tribulations that our land of the free are facing, let us remember to hold our heads up high in remembrance for those who gave thier life for our freedom and those that are still in harms way for this cause. Pray for the brokenhearted and proclaim victory for those who are held captive. Lord, You are the light of the world and we declare You to be Lord over every nation. We know your light shines in darkness and the darkness does not always comprehend, but we also know You light will always prevail. Amen.
