Meditation

God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.– Augustine

Turn around and believe that the good news that we are loved is better than we ever dared hope, and that to believe in that good news, to live out of it and toward it, to be in love with that good news, is of all glad things in this world the gladdest thing of all. Amen, and come Lord Jesus.

– Frederick Buechner

Leader: So we pray for the days when that empty place hurts like a raw wound and for the days when it returns as a gentle ache in the midst of the everyday living of our lives.

People: We hold on to the memory of those who have died, but we also pray for the grace to let go of any hurts unforgiven any conflict unresolved, and any words from the heart left unsaid.

Leader: O Lord, you have promised your presence through the valley of the shadow of death.

People: We pray in confident trust that those who have passed through that valley are now in your gentle arms. And for us who remain on this side of the valley, we pray for strength in our grieving and joy in our remembering.

Leader: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses … let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us.”

People: For these, our family and friends, we give you thanks.

Family members are invited to place a rose during the singing of the hymn.Jason will be placing a rose in memory of the children lost through miscarriage.

What is the Service of Hope?Times of grief, illness, crisis and life transitions are realities to us all. Dealing with those in our daily lives can be trying and especially difficult during the holiday season. The Service of Hope is a worship service for people whose personal loss, illness, struggles with grief or loneliness make the holiday season a challenge.

Church members, family and friends from the community are welcome to come and share together in this important and meaningful time. Gwen Phillips, Children’s Pastor of Second Baptist Church, will share a message of hope and healing as together we worship the God of all hope and comfort.

Cookie & Coffee Reception will follow after the service in the Welcome Center. All are welcome.

A ministry of the Second Baptist Church Stephen Ministers“Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill

the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2, NRSV).
