Dear brothers and sisters at Messiah,
Thanks for your patience while the funeral arrangements for our brother in Christ Sam Hilton came together in recent days.
Sam's funeral service will be held at Messiah on Tuesday, May 11 at 11 am. Our current guidelines for in-person worship will apply to this service; click here to see them. There will also be a time to visit with the family in the church foyer, one hour prior to the service at 10 am. Sam's family and Messiah understand that not everyone will be able to attend the visitation and funeral, so the service will also be livestreamed through Reyers North Valley Chapel's website. Click here to see Sam's complete obituary at Reyers' website. (This link will also host the livestream of the funeral on May 11.)
I want to thank you for your ongoing support of Joann and the rest of the Hilton family during this time of bereavement. In our loss, may we all continue to ask our Lord for the comfort only His promises can give:
Heavenly Father, into whose keeping we entrust our loved ones, help us to look to You in our time of sorrow, remembering the cloud of faithful witnesses with which we are surrounded. Give to Joann, the rest of Sam's family and all who mourn comfort in their grief and a sure confidence in Your loving care that, casting all their sorrow on You, they may know the consolation of Your love. Receive our thanks for Sam and for all the blessings You bestowed on him in this earthly life. Grant that we may one day share with him in the joys of those who now rest in Your presence; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Yours in Him,
Rick Krueger
