The Christian funeral service is the final dedication of a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ, and, like the first dedication at baptism, occurs as an act of worship. The Gospel of Jesus Christ meets our deepest griefs and anxieties about death with an even deeper hope. The congregation and it's pastor want to minister to families on the occasion of death. When a loved one dies, we hope you will contact our pastor, as his presence would be helpful to you, regardless of the hour. The Christian funeral is a service of worship in which we thank God for the gifts of life, including those that extend beyond death. And we especially give God thanks for this special person who lived among us and who now, even in death, continues in God's love and care, and lives on in our memory. The death of a member of our church should be reported to the pastor as soon as possible, and arrangements for the funeral should be made in consultation with him.
