Reading from JOHN 14.1-4
IN MY FATHER”S HOUSE ARE MANY ROOMS
Read by Father Tim Codling
Do not let your hearts be troubled.
You believe in God, believe in Me as well.
In My Father’s house are many rooms.
If it were not so, would I have told you that
I am going there to prepare a place for you?
And if I go and prepare for you, I will come back
and welcome you into My presence,
so that you also may be where I am.
You know the way to the place where I am going.
~
The Lords’ Prayer
Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever.
Amen.

Poem
GOD’S GARDEN
Read by Father Tim Codling
God looked around his garden
And found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
and the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyes
and whispered, “Peace by Thine.”
It broke our hearts to lose you
but you didn’t go alone,
For part of us went with you
the day God called you home.
