There are many questions at the time of a death. If you would like to have a funeral at New Life United Methodist Church, the appointed funeral home will make contact with the church and pastor. There is no charge to members for use of the church facilities for funerals.
You can expect a call or visit from the pastor who will help you with funeral planning and spiritual consolation to the family. We will work with the funeral director or funeral home of the family’s choice. It is our desire to best serve your family as an extension of God’s love to you during this difficult time.
A funeral or memorial service can be scheduled at any time the church is not previously scheduled and the pastor is available. Generally, the narthex is used for the reception and the sanctuary for the service. The fellowship hall is available for food or refreshments through our United Methodist Women’s groups. Building use guidelines will be provided.
The word of God is a source of comfort and strength to you, especially in the Psalms. We recommend these verses for comfort:
- Psalms 1, 23, 24, 27, 34
- John 14:1-6
- Romans 8:35-39
- 2 Corinthians 5
- 1 Peter 1
- Revelation 2
