A Service Of Death And Resurrection
Dying, Christ destroyed our death.
Rising, Christ restored our life.
Christ will come again in glory.
As in baptism Louise put on Christ,
So in Christ may Louise be clothed with glory.
Here and now, dear friends, we are God's children.
What we shall be has not yet been revealed;
But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him,
For we shall see him as he is.
Those who have this hope purify themselves
As Christ is pure.
Welcome
Friends, we are here to praise God and to proclaim and profess our faith as we celebrate the life of our mother, grand mother, sister, and friend, Louise Skinner.
We are joined in love for her and one another and in grief over her death.
Grief is the result of our loss and her gain.
God will give us today His grace so that we might find comfort in our pain; hope in the midst of sorrow, and a resurrection in death.
The best thing that might come today is that we leave here more assured than we arrived that God is for us and God is with us as we live this life for the eternal life.
Hymn
Opening Prayer
General prayer
Prayer of Confession
Holy God, before you our hearts are open,
and from you no secrets are hidden.
We bring to you now
our shame and sorrow for our sins.
We have forgotten
that our life is from you and unto you.
We have neither sought nor done your will.
We have not been truthful in our hearts,
in our speech, in our lives.
We have not loved as we ought to love.
Help us and heal us,
raising us from our sins into a better life,
that we may end our days in peace,
trusting in your kindness unto the end;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
Who is in a position to condemn?
Only Christ, Christ who died for us, who rose for us,
who reigns at God's right hand and prays for us.
Thanks be to God who gives us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Old Testament Lesson:
31)
Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The Lord is an everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary, his understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless.
Even youths will faint and be weary, and the young will fall exhausted;
but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength,
they shall mount up with wings like eagles,
they shall run and not be weary,
they shall walk and not faint.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me
In the presence of mine enemies;
Thou anointest my head with oil;
My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
New Testament Lesson
(NLT) — 1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared.
And the sea was also gone. 2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
3 I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people!
He will live with them, and they will be his people.
God himself will be with them.
4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain.
All these things are gone forever.” 5 And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!”
And then he said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true.” 6 And he also said, “It is finished!
I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and the End.
To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life.
7 All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.
Witness
Family and friends may briefly voice their thankfulness to God for the grace they have received in the life of Mrs Louise and their Christian faith and joy.
Gospel Lesson
(NLT) — 1 “Don’t let your hearts be troubled.
Trust in God, and trust also in me. 2 There is more than enough room in my Father’s home.
If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? 3 When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.” 5 “No, we don’t know, Lord,” Thomas said.
“We have no idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one can come to the Father except through me.
Sermon
Louise Skinner
Woman of Courage
Several months ago, Mrs. Louise began to have a difficult time living.
She wasn’t sick, she was just tired.
She had begun to lose her children to death, her husband had died several years before, she wasn’t able to do what she used to be able to do which frustrated her.
She was ready to go.
We talked quite a bit about this, every time I would visit her.
This went on for several months in fact.
