“Never pass an opportunity to spend time with those that you love, you will never get it back this side of heaven.”

We are grateful to gather to celebrate the life of Richard all for the glory of God.

When you can see Jesus in each person, you know that you are in a good spot.

So today is all about Jesus; the author of life. All life and healing come from God. Jesus is all and in all.

For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.

Let us all be kind, compassionate, and a “good Samaritan.” For you were once aliens yourselves in the land of Egypt.

Jesus Christ came to earth to teach, to love, and to heal. Indeed, he came as the sacrificial lamb to bear the sins of the world. Jesus’s message was peace and love.

Jesus is urging his disciples to be vigilant as they wait for his return- the second coming of Jesus Christ! Yet there are two additional comings of Christ we can ponder during Advent.

Today, decide to worship God with gladness!
