Dear Friend in Christ:

As your pastors and friends, please allow us to express our deepest condolences over the loss of your loved one.
Although Christ comforts us with the promise of heavenly paradise, life on this earth can still be difficult, especially at a time like this.
We want you to know that you are not alone in your grief.
If you have not already done so, please contact the church office, so that we may care for you and your family.
We are certainly available to listen and talk with you.
You remain in our prayers, as well as the prayers of the Risen Savior congregation.
We are your brothers and sisters in Christ and we are called to bear the burden of each other.
May God surround, support and comfort you as you make the necessary arrangements.
Through it all, may you find strength, courage and hope through the peace of Christ, which passes all understanding.
