1 Corinthians 15:50-57
Welcome
On behalf of the family, I want to welcome you today and ask that you join us as we not only mourn the loss of Doris Fox but remember and celebrate her life as well.
Opening Prayer
Eternal God, our Heavenly Father, who loves us with an everlasting love, and can turn the shadow of death into the morning: Help us now to wait upon You with reverent and believing hearts. In the silence of this hour speak to us of eternal things, that through patience and comfort of the Scriptures we may have hope, and be lifted above our darkness and distress into the light and peace of Your presence; through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Because I belong to Him, Christ, by His Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for Him.
