The Church of the Messiah

This Friday, May 20th, we will hold a Memorial Service for  Henry.  The service will begin at 1:30 and will be at Ortega United Methodist Church (click HERE for Map and directions).  There will be a reception at the church immediately following the service.  If you would like to provide light finger food for the reception (the family has requested no caseroles), please contact Jennifer Abbott.  If you would like to provide meals for the Reese family during the next several days, please contact Suzie Kirkpatrick.  For more information, or to find phone numbers, please contact the Parish Office at 904-721-4199.

At the family’s request, there will be no viewing Thursday night.

Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (St. John 14:1-6, 11-12)

Rest eternal grant to Henry, O Lord:
And let light perpetual shine upon him.

May his soul and the souls of the the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.  Amen.
