A Marvel to Many

Our family was truly touched by the efforts of so many to come and support us as well as demonstrate their love for Andrew. He was someone extra special to more people than we imagined. The services were times of blessing. We were able to be sad with you yet rejoice in the eternal hope we possess in Christ. Andrew would have loved to see such a gathering of his favorite people.

Since many were unable to attend, I wanted to share with you the passages of Scripture read at the memorial worship service. They were uplifting truths to hear, and perhaps you might be encouraged by reading them in your own time.

Scripture Reading:
Psalm 116:12-19
Psalm 139
Romans 5:1-11
Psalm 71:5-7 "A Marvel to Many"

Here are the hymns as well:
Rejoice, the Lord is King
My Hope is in the Lord
All the Way My Savior Leads Me
For All the Saints

At the graveside service, my father mentioned that "life is about fellowship," the Father, Son and Holy Spirit with each other from all eternity, then God with us and then our fellowship with one another. It is how we are created to function. Not alone. Thank you for fellowshipping with us in this time, the best way to lift our spirits along with your own.

We closed everything by singing the doxology together, calling on all to join in praising the Lord, including Andrew who is now among the hosts of heaven.

Praise God from Whom all blessings flow.
Praise Him all creatures here below.
Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts.
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Amen


A Side Request:
If any of you have stories or wity moments or pictures or lessons you learned through contact with Andrew, please email them to me (his sister) at sarahrichey@gmail.com
Such stories have been tremendously comforting for my family to read, and I would personally like to have them for reference in case I have opportunity to write or compile something about Andrew in the future.

Love and thanks to you all,
Sarah
