3 Called to Remember All Saint s Sunday (A representative of each family of those being memorialized is invited to come and sit in the front pews. As your loved one s name is read, you are invited to light a memorial candle.) Reader 1: Reader 2: Reader 1: Reader 2: Ever-living God, this day revives in us memories of loved ones who are present with us no more. What happiness we shared when they walked among us. What joy when, loving and being loved, we lived our lives together. Congregation: Their memory is a blessing forever. Months or years may have passed, and still we feel near to them. Our hearts yearn for them. Though the bitter grief has softened, a duller pain abides; for the place where once they stood is empty now. The links of life are broken, but the links of love and longing cannot break. Congregation: Their souls are bound up in ours forever. We see them now with the eye of memory, their faults forgiven, their virtues grown larger. So does goodness live, and weakness fade from sight. We remember them with gratitude and bless their names. Congregation: Their memory is a blessing forever. And we remember as well the members who but yesterday were part of our congregation and community. To all who cared for us and labored for all people, we pay tribute. May we prove worthy of carrying on the tradition of our faith, for now the task is ours. Congregation: Their souls are bound up in ours forever.

4 Reader 1: Gracious and victorious God, we give you thanks that they now live and reign with you. Hear now, as we read the names of those for whom we give thanks this day. We name before you these who were connected to St. Luke s United Methodist Church of whose funeral service or memorial service was conducted by our clergy, and, who during the past twelve months, have departed from this life to join the Church Triumphant: (As each name is read, a representative of that family will step to the worship center and light a memorial candle.) Pearl L. Dubler Joseph Klar Thomas Bainbridge Helen Johnston Catherine Anne Van Etten Madge O Neill Elaine Darling Suzanne Bainbridge Marie Jannette John L. Duggan Reader 2: Reader 1: Reader 2: For the memory of these, O God, we give you thanks. Congregation: Their memory is a blessing forever. Most merciful God, we pause in silence to remember others from our families, from our communities, and from our networks of friends, who, during the past twelve months, have departed from this life to join the Church Triumphant. (A candle is lit during a moment of silence.) For the memory of these, O God, we give you thanks. Congregation: Their memory is a blessing forever. O God, Creator and Sustainer of the Universe, we pause in silence to remember those who have given their lives in service to their country. (A candle is lit during a moment of silence.) For the memory of these, O God, we give you thanks. Congregation: Their memory is a blessing forever.

5 Reader 1: Reader 2: We remember those who have been victims of tragedies, accidents, illnesses, violence and hatred and who, during the past twelve months, have departed from this life to join the Church Triumphant. (A candle is lit during a moment of silence.) For the memory of these, O God, we give you thanks. Congregation: Their memory is a blessing forever. O Savior God, light of the world, shine within our hearts this day with the light of hope, the glimmer of peace and the glimpse of eternity. Amen Memorial Representative: On behalf of the Memorial committee, we present to St. Luke s United Methodist Church the following gifts, purchased all or in part by Memorial Funds or given in memory of loved ones: Wayne & Ede Norman, Sr. Stove Backsplash & Tile Floor Removal Dr. Eugene Conklin Sanctuary Television Lolita Steele Bibles for Confirmation Margery Dodge New Tile Floor in Entryway Catherine Anne Van Etten Mountain T.O.P.

Message The Inheritance Pastor Chuck A Service of Word and Table Called to Communion Invitation Christ our Lord invites to his table all who love him and seek to grow into his likeness. Let us draw near with faith, make our humble confession, and prepare to receive this Holy Sacrament. Confession and Pardon (in unison) We do not presume to come to this your table, merciful Lord, trusting in our own goodness, but in your unfailing mercies. We are not worthy that you should receive us, but give your word and we shall be healed, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (Pastor) Hear the good news: Christ died for us while we were yet sinners; that is proof of God s love toward us. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven! The peace of Jesus Christ be with you. And also with you. The Great Thanksgiving The Lord s Prayer

7 Breaking the Bread and Giving the Bread and Cup Prayer Following the Meal (in unison) Most bountiful God, we give you thanks for the world you have created, for the gift of life, and for giving yourself to us in Jesus Christ, whose holy life, suffering and death, and glorious resurrection have delivered us from slavery to sin and death. We thank you that in the power of your Holy Spirit you have fed us in this Sacrament, united us with Christ, and given us a foretaste of your heavenly banquet. We are your children, and yours is the glory, now and for ever; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
