Grace to you and peace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen.
RESPONSIVE READING (Romans
6:3-5)
Pastor:
Do you not know that all of us who were baptized into
Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
PEOPLE:
We were, therefore, buried with Him through
baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was
raised from the dead through the glory of the Father,
we too may have a new life.
Pastor:
If we have been united with Him in His death …
PEOPLE:
We will certainly be united with Him in His resurrection.
RESPONSIVE PRAYER:
Pastor:
O God of grace and mercy, we remember before you our brother Richard. We
thank you for giving him to us to know and love and as a companion in our
pilgrimage on earth. Comfort us who
mourn:
ALL:
Give us your aid, so that we see in death the gate
of eternal life, that we may continue our course on
earth in confidence until, by Your call, we are reunited
with those who have gone before us; through Jesus
Christ, Your Son, Our Lord. Amen.
PSALM 23:
(Read in Unison)
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
rightousness
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 annointest 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 forever.

Thy Kingdom come;
Thy will
be done on earth
as it is
in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and
forgive us our trespasses
as we
forgive those who trespass
against
us;
And lead us not into temptation,
but
deliver us from evil;
For thine is the Kingdom and the power
and the
glory forever and ever. Amen.
