The Opening Hymn # 191 I Know That My Redeemer Liveth
The Scripture Lesson I Thessalonians 4: 13-18
Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
According to the Lord’s own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words.
This is the word of God for the people of God.
Thanks be to God.

For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

The serving and blessing of the elements
The partaking of the elements
The departing in hope.
The Choral Benediction Carolyn Tinsley
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation.
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, my God how great thou art!
