Funeral Reception Teams

O merciful Father, who hast taught us in thy holy Word that thou dost not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men: Look with pity upon the sorrows of thy servants for whom our prayers are offered. Remember them, O Lord, in mercy, nourish their soul with patience, comfort them with a sense of thy goodness, lift up thy countenance upon them, and give them peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

- Book of Common Prayer p. 831. For a Person in Trouble or Bereavement

Funeral Hospitality

Women of the parish serve coffee and refreshments at funeral receptions.

Team leaders, called on a rotation basis, arrange for volunteers when a funeral is scheduled.
