God is with us in Word and Sacrament

In Memoriam + Joy Stenger

The Lord gives and the Lord takes away; blessed be the name of the Lord. We give thanks to God our Father through Jesus Christ, our Lord, for our sister, Joy Stenger.

She has now come to her reward, to the place prepared for her and all those who trust in Christ Jesus, to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God, to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven, to God, the judge of all men, to the spirits of righteous men made perfect, to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. For lo Christ says: “I am the Resurrection and the Life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.” Thanks be to God! He does all things well. May she rest + in peace. Amen.

Joy’s visitation is scheduled for Saturday, November 6, 9:30–11:00 am at Immanuel. The funeral service is scheduled for Saturday at 11:00 am at Immanuel. A funeral dinner will be served following the committal at around 12:45 pm.
