Dear Friends in Christ,

We hurt with you today, and we rejoice in Jesus' promises of eternal life. We are honored and blessed to serve you as you plan the funeral of your loved one. 

Now come all the details of planning the visitation, service, interment and luncheon. Your funeral director will help you with the details regarding their services. We are here to help you begin to plan the "church" part of the funeral.

We desire to plan every worship service of Christian burial as a time which is deeply respectful, celebrative, joyful and personal. I would like to meet with your family at the beginning of your planning process. At that time we will discuss the choice of hymns, Bible passages and other aspects of the worship service. I will want to hear about special aspects of your loved one's life you would like to highlight in the service.

Please call our office (612-874-0133) as you begin to plan the Funeral or Memorial Service for your loved one. 

Sincerely,
Pastor Tom Parrish
St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church
