We remember with thanksgiving those members of Divine Shepherd Lutheran Church who have gone before us this past year to the Church Triumphant in heaven. They were created and preserved by God the Father to offer Him praise and thanksgiving forever. They were redeemed by God the Son, who took their sins upon Himself, suffered and died in their place, and rose again for their justification. And they were sanctified by God the Holy Spirit, who clothed them with Christ’s righteousness in Holy Baptism, strengthened them through Christ’s Word, and fed them with Christ’s body and blood at His table. We thank the Triune God for summoning them to His nearer presence so they may continue in joyful service of Him forever.

Merciful Father, whose dear Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, rose victoriously over death and the grave, we remember with thanksgiving Your faithful people who have trusted in Christ, whose tears are gone, and whose sorrows You have turned to joy. We humbly implore You to strengthen us in the confident hope of the resurrection of the dead and of the life of the world to come; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
