A SERVICE OF WORSHIP IN MEMORY AND CELEBRATION OF AND
IN THANKS FOR THE LIFE OF
Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40 : 28-31
Broken Chain
Ron Tranmer
We little knew that day, God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly, In death, we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone. For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide.
And although we cannot see you, You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
John 14:1–6
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many
rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to
myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.” Thomas said to
him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” Jesus said to him,
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
