Gustave Frazer New Testament Scripture Reading Pastor Medinah Oliver Solo Im Going Up Yonder Mrs. Doris Johnson Old Testament Scripture Reading Pastor Lemont Monroe Acknowledgement Dr. Ardena Johnson Solo Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross Pastor Lemont Monroe Words of Comfort Pastor Hardy Bennings, III Committal Prayer & Benediction Death is the Gateway to Eternal Life Death is just another step along lifes changing way, No more than just a gateway to a new and better day, And parting from our loved ones is much easier to bear, when we know that they are waiting for us to join them There For it is on the Wings of Death that the living soul takes flight, into the Promised Land of God where there shall be No Night, so death is just a natural thing like the closing of a door, As we start upon a journey to a new and distant shore, So let your grief be softened and yield not to despair, You have only placed your loved one in the loving Fathers care. ... Be not afraid, only believe. Mark 5:36 Acknowledgement The Family of Mrs. Sophia Green acknowledge grateful appreciation to the many expression of sympathy and Christian Love extended during our period of bereavement.
