Funerals
Dear Friends in Christ,
One of the privileges of ministry is to be present with people in time of need. As a priest I am aware that there is no greater time of need than that which occurs at the death of a loved one. While, as people of faith, we know that Christ’s Easter victory has overcome death, we are still aware of the challenges, difficulties and loss of such times.
This book has been created as a gift that we may leave for those who remain at the time of death. It can be a help when we must make funeral plans of those we love, but it will be of most assistance when we take the opportunity to plan ourselves, making our desires known, as a final gift for those we love.
I invite each member of the Church to make the investment of time to review this book and with a loved one and/or member of the clergy to use it as a resource that will become a gift to those who remain when we die.
Faithfully,
The Reverend David A. Boyd
Rector
