I am Resurrection and I am Life, says the Lord.Whoever has faith in me shall have life, even though he die.And everyone who has life, and has committed himself to me in faith, shall not die for ever.As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives and that at the last he will stand upon the earth.After my awaking, he will raise me up; and in my body I shall see God. I myself shall see, and my eyes behold him who is my friend and not a stranger.For none of us has life in himself, and none becomes his own master when he dies.For if we have life, we are alive in the Lord, and if we die, we die in the Lord.So, then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's possession.Happy from now on are those who die in the Lord!So it is, says the Spirit, for they rest from their labors.

You shall cross the barren desert,but you shall not die of thirst.You shall wander far in safetythough you do not know the way.You shall speak your words in foreign landsand all will understand.You shall see the face of God and live.Be not afraid.I go before you always.Come, follow me, and I will give you rest.

If you pass through raging waters in the sea,you shall not drown.If you walk amid the burning flames,you shall not be harmed.If you stand before the pow'r of helland death is at your side,know that I am with you through it all.Be not afraid.I go before you always.Come, follow me, and I will give you rest.

Blessed are your poor,for the kingdom shall be theirs.Blest are you that weep and mourn,for one day you shall laugh.And if wicked tongues insult and hate youall because of me,blessed, blessed are you!Be not afraid.I go before you always.Come, follow me, and I will give you rest.

The Collect:Lay Minster: O God, whose mercies cannot be numbered: Acceptour prayers on behalf of your servant Nora, and grant her an entrance into the land of light and joy, in the fellowship of your saints; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The Liturgy of the WordThe First Lesson: Revelation 7:9-17Read by Steven R. McChesneyAfter this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one couldnumber, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages,standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes,with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loudvoice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to theLamb!” And all the angels were standing around the throne and aroundthe elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their facesbefore the throne and worshiped God, saying, “Amen! Blessing andglory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might beto our God forever and ever! Amen.

Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?” I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made themwhite in the blood of the Lamb.“Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat.For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”Reader: The Word of the Lord.

People: Thanks be to God

The Psalm 23Read by William McChesney1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.3 He restores my soul.He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me;your rod and your staff, they comfort me.5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.6 Surely goodness and mercy[e] shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORDforever.People: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Gospel Hymn “Here I am Lord”I the Lord, of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry,All who dwell in deepens sin My hand will save.I who made the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright. Who will bear my light to them? Whom shall I send?Refrain:Here I am Lord, Is it I, Lord?I have heard you calling in the night. I will go Lord, if you lead me.I will hold your people in my heart.Lay Minister: The Holy Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.People: Glory to you, Lord Christ.

The Gospel: John 14:1-6 Read by Kathleen Bombara, Lay Minister“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.Lay Minister: The Gospel of the Lord. People: Praise to you, Lord Christ

Gospel Hymn “Here I am Lord” vs. 2I the Lord, of snow and rain, I have borne my peoples pain,I have wept for love of them, They turn away.I will break their hearts of stone, Give them hears for love alone. I will speak my word to them, Whom shall I send?

Here I am Lord, Is it I, Lord?I have heard you calling in the night. I will go Lord, if you lead me.I will hold your people in my heart.

Hymn “Prayer of Saint Francis”Lord, make me an instrument, Lord, make me an instrumentLord, make me an instrument of Thy peace.That where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon;Where there is doubt, let there be faith; where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light, where there is sadness, joy.O divine master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console. To ne understood, as to understand, to be loved, as to love.It is in giving that we receive, it is in pard'ning, that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are born, to eternal life... to eternal life.

The Apostles’ Creed (say together)I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of theVirgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.He descended to the dead.On the third day he rose again.He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of theFather.He will come again to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body,and the life everlasting. Amen.

The Lord’s PrayerOur Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; 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, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Hail MaryHail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee.Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death.

The CommendationOfficiant: Give rest, O Christ, to your servant with your saints, People: where sorrow and pain are no more, neither sighing, but life everlasting.Officiant: You only are immortal, the creator and maker of mankind; and we are mortal, formed of the earth, and to earth shall we return.

Amen.Let us go forth in the name of Christ. People: Thanks be to God.

Recessional Hymn: “On Eagle’s Wings”You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord, who abides in the shadow for life,say to the Lord, "My refuge, my rock in whom I trust."Refrain:And I will raise you up on eagle's wings, bear you on the breath of dawn,make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of my hand.

Snares of the fowler will never capture you, and famine will bring you no fear,under God's wings your refuge with faithfulness your shield.

Refrain:And I will raise you up on eagle's wings, bear you on the breath of dawn,make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of my hand.

Snares of the fowler will never capture you, and famine will bring you no fear,under God's wings your refuge with faithfulness your shield.

And I will raise you up on eagle's wings, bear you on the breath of dawn,make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of my hand.

For to the angels God's give a command to guard you in all of your ways;upon their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against the stone. (Refrain)

Refrain:And I will raise you up on eagle's wings, bear you on the breath of dawn,make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of my hand.
