Dear church family and friends,
This is Joy (Songster Joy), sharing a special and sacred memory with all of you.
Following the bedside service, I have put together the full video of Shirley Jean Fullerton’s Celebration of Life service (including the graveside service). Shirley’s life was a testament to a quiet, steadfast faith—one whose hands were always filled with love, serving her family, church, and community, and finally holding a small cross.
As I edited this video, it became my own way of grieving, praying, and worshiping, reminding me deeply of the grace and hope of God’s Kingdom. It is my sincere prayer that this recording brings comfort and sweet memories to her family and everyone who loved her.
You can watch the full video here:

Dear Church Family,

We wanted to share this deeply moving duet performance of "How Great Thou Art," sung by Larry’s grandchildren, Kaylah and Kole, during his memorial service.

🌿 What hymn or song brings comfort to your heart during challenging times? Please leave a comment with your favorite worship song! We hope to feature your recommendations in upcoming music videos to share God's hope with those in need.

Blessings,
Joy
