PURPOSE
OF GATHERING
We meet in this solemn
moment to worship God; to give thanks for the life of our sister and mother, SIS. GRACE AYOOLA AJANI-ROBERTS and to
commend her into the hands of Almighty God, our Heavenly Father. In the presence of death, Christ offers us
sure ground for hope and confidence, and even joy, because He shared our human
life and death; He was raised again triumphantly and lives for evermore. In Him, His people find eternal life. Let us then in humble trust, hear the words
of the Holy Scripture, that from them we may draw comfort and strength.
3. PRAYERS (Let us pray)
Eternal God, the Lord of life, the
conqueror of death, our help in every time of trouble, who does not willingly
grieve or afflict the children of men; comfort us who mourn, and give us grace
in the presence of death, to worship You, that we may have sure hope of eternal
life and be able to put our whole trust in Your goodness and mercy, through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our Heavenly Father, whose love is
everlasting, help us now to turn to You with reverent and submissive hearts that
through the steadfastness and encouragement that the Scripture brings, we may
hope and be lifted above our distress into the light and peace of your
presence; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Almighty God, our refuge and strength,
You have given us a High Priest who understands our human weakness. Help us therefore to trust in him and with
confidence come to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find
grace in time of need, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
