Postlude Selected Various Superintendents: Dick and Genie Sample

A young couple was expecting the birth of their first child. The childhood sweethearts had been married for four years and had made plans to start a family. Both had settled comfortably into their respective careers and were now anticipating the arrival of a baby girl they named Jessica.

Friends and family came to the heartwarming baby shower with gifts and well wishes to congratulate the happy pair and celebrate with them. Just two weeks after putting the finishing touches on the nursery, the soon-to-be parents made their way to the hospital after mom went into labor on a late afternoon.

Both sets of grandparents met in the hospital’s birthing center to welcome the bundle of joy with love, pink balloons and white teddy bears. Finally, at 8:37 a.m., on a warm summer morning, little Jessica came into the world as a stillborn baby. There are no words to express the indescribable anguish the family felt the moment they knew they would not be bringing little Jessica home with them.

How do you comfort a heartbroken family that mourns the loss of a loved one who has been separated from them by death? Today, as we honor the lives of our dearly departed members and minister to their grieving families, we look to the Bible for answers. Psalm 116:15 says, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.”

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the LLUC annual memorial service. In keeping with our theme, “Remembering our Loved Ones who Wait for the Trumpet Sound of the Life Giver,” we’ll examine what Jesus taught about death and how the Great Comforter consoles the grieving heart. We’ll give affirmation through the blessed hope to those feeling the pain of losing their loved ones. We’ll see that death was not the intention of the Life Giver. We’ll look to the Scriptures at the promises of God to the faithful who die in Christ, and we will see that “The Best Is Yet to Come.”

Adrian Pressley Pastor for Pastoral Care
