RAMP CEREMONY PRAYER



SAMPLE RAMP CEREMONY FORMATSAMPLE SCRIPTURE: From Psalm 46 we read… God is our refuge and strength. A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God….The Lord of hosts is with us. INTRO:We gather today to honor, pay our respects, and mourn the loss of (NAME). God’s Word gives us the comfort that, though no longer with us, he is not gone but has entered into the eternal life that the God of the living has planned for him. (NAME) , 20 years of age, served as a (MOS) with (UNIT). He is survived by (LIST FAMILY); but he also leaves behind an example of honor, courage, and commitment to inspire us all. PRAYER:Gracious God, Your Word says, “Come to Me all who weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Our souls are troubled with grief and we need Your rest. We are grateful for the life (NAME) lived and we know that You now care for him now. Grant his family and friends back at home, and his fellow Soldiers of (UNIT), this same comfort; fill them with the good memories of his life and influence that will live on through them and be passed on to others for years to come. “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me. Your rod and Your staff comfort me.” We commit now (NAME) body to the care of his family to mourn and bury. Grant this flight crew comfort and pride in knowing that they provide invaluable comfort to the families whose loved ones they bring home. Give them a safe flight, In Your Holy Name, Amen! ................
