Dear brothers and sisters at Messiah,
Our sister in Christ Georgia Carter was called home to be with our Lord on June 6, 2022, at the age of 89. Georgia was a long-time member of Messiah, joining our fellowship in 1966 and attending worship regularly until illness prevented her from doing so. She loved children, serving as both a childcare volunteer and as an aide in Messiah's preschool.
We mourn with the London family (Georgia's daughter Claudia, son-in-law Steve and grandchildren Alec and Kate) and the rest of Georgia's family and friends. But we also rejoice that Georgia is free from her earthly sufferings, and is now in the presence of her Savior Jesus Christ, awaiting the resurrection of the body on the last day.
Georgia's funeral service will be held at Messiah next Wednesday, June 15th at 3 pm; there will be visitation two hours before the service at 1 pm. Georgia's complete online obituary will be available soon at Reyers North Valley Chapel's website.
Please keep all those who knew and loved Georgia in your prayers in the coming days; feel free to use the prayer below as a model.
O God of grace and mercy, we give thanks for Your loving-kindness shown to Georgia and to all Your servants who, having finished their course in faith, now rest from their labors. Give to Georgia's family and to 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 Georgia and for all the blessings You bestowed on her in this earthly life. Bring us at last to our heavenly home that with her we may see You face to face in the joys of paradise; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord. Amen.
Yours in Christ,
Rick Krueger
