My dad had a stroke in 2004 when I was 12 years old around Christmas time and almost died. We were still recovering from the reverberations of that and adjusting to its long-term side effects when my Grandpa died in 2006.

My choice of Bible verse was included and read out loud as part of the funeral service, which to me as grandpa's 14-year-old granddaughter was an honor. Most of the people talking about him knew him for decades before I was even born. Watching and listening to the speakers was easy due to the architecture of the church and comfortable seating. Funerals can be difficult to execute and make everyone attending feel included. The church was big enough that we all fit and had room both for the service and to socialize after. Church workers and volunteers were friendly and helpful in set-up and take-down for the event.

    I Love the warm welcome that I get whether it's the first time or the hundredth! Even with all of…read morethe Covid Protocols this community feels like home.
