PRAYER
COMMITTAL BENEDICTION RECESSIONAL
God looked around His garden and found an empty place, Then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest. God}sgarden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew you were in pain,
He knew thatyou would neverget well on this earth again, It broke our hearts to lose you, Butyou didntgo alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.
We are most grateful to God for the gift of friends like you who have been so kind and thoughtful. Your prayers, calls, words of encouragement, flowers and the many acts of kindness, both seen and unseen, has truly given us strength and inspiration during this time. Thank you and may God continue to bless each and every one of you.
