End of Life: Sickness, Grieving and Funerals
Consider and answer the following questions:
-
- What funerals have you participated in? What aspects were healthy? What was unhealthy or unhelpful in making space for people to grieve?
- Is it always essential to preach the Gospel at a funeral (especially if the deceased was not a Christian?) Why or why not?

I've officiated memorial service before. First we need to talk to the family and what service they preferred.
It's a good opportunity to share the gospel of hope . If they invited you to minister, they know you're a Pastor, usually, they expect for you to share the Love of Christ.
Make sure it is short and simple message of salvation and eternity.

Thats why i am learning, by the help of the Holy Spirit, to be equipped for the work ahead.
