Funerals are an important time in the life of the Church. It is a time to do three things. First, we mourn our loss. When we are separated from a loved one by death, we rightly grieve this loss. Second, we celebrate the life of the one we have known and loved. A funeral in our church is an occasion to remember with joy all that our loved one meant to us and others. Our third purpose is meant to gather up the first two and put them both in the larger context of God's life, and of His grace and mercy toward us: we proclaim and celebrate the resurrection of the dead through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Please contact the Church Office for more information about funeral service locations.
The Funeral Planning Form you will find here can be a wonderful gift to your family for the time of your death. By choosing hymns and Bible readings and the other details of your service, you relieve your family of that task and challenge when you die. What a gift to know what songs Mom wanted, or what readings Dad had chosen!
Just return one copy to the church office, and file another in your important papers, letting your family know it is there. The clergy are happy to assist you by answering any questions you may have as you fill out the form.
