Invitation to Prayer Rev. George Heyman
Trusting in God, we have prayer for Greg and now we come to
this last farewell. There is sadness in parting, but we take
comfort in the hope that one day we shall see Greg again
and enjoy his friendship. Although this congregation will
disperse in sorrow, the mercy of God will gather us together
again in the joy of his Kingdom. Therefore let us console
one another in the faith of Jesus Christ.

Prayer of Commendation
Into your hands, Father of mercies, we commend our brother
Greg in the sure and certain hope that together with all who
have died in Christ, he will be rise with Him on the last day.
We give you thanks for the blessings which you bestowed
on Greg in this fife; they are signs to us of your goodness
and the fellowship with all the saints in Christ.
Mercifid Father turn toward us and listen to our prayers; open
the gates of paradise to your servant and help us who
remain to comfort one another with the assurances of faith,
until we all meet in Christ and are with you and our brother
Greg forever. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Response: Amen
