Resolution of Respect for (Name of deceased)
Resolution of Respect
for (Name of deceased)
a beloved member of our congregation
We are today comforted by the words of Our Lord in Revelations 21:4 which says:
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the
former things are passed away."
Whereas, (Name
(Name of
of deceased) of (Name of church or parish) passed from this life
on (Date: month, day, year)
year), and
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God to take unto Himself our (brother/sister)
(Name of

deceased), too soon by our measure but in the providence of the All(Name
knowing Divine, and
Whereas, in God's holy wisdom, He has called home (Name of deceased) to dwell
with Him in the glories of Paradise, the officers and members of (Name of church)
offer their sincere condolences to the family. Your sorrow is our sorrow; your loss
is magnified by the loss of a dear soul from our congregation, and
Whereas, (Name

ministrations to this Church, as (volunteer activities deceased performed for the

for more than (number of) years, and

Therefore, be it resolved that we embrace this bereaved family, in our common
bond of grief and remembrance of a beloved soul.
And therefore, be it resolved that we bow in acceptance of the perfection of God's
plan to gather each of us into His merciful arms when we have fulfilled our task on
this earth.
Be it further resolved, that a period of official mourning shall be observed for 30
days by the presence of an empty seat in Church services to acknowledge the
passing of our esteemed (Name of deceased) and that a copy of this resolution be
given to the family and a copy kept in the Church archives.
In the words of John, Chapter 14, verses 1 - 3:
"Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
"In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go
to prepare a place for you?
"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself,
that where I am you may be also."
Be at peace in the everlasting love of the Lord.
