Requiem for the Living
A Requiem, at its core, is a prayer for rest - traditionally, for the deceased. The
five movements of Requiem for the Living, however, form a narrative just as much
for the living, and their own struggle with pain and sorrow, as for the dead.
Sam Esteban - Greenville Memorial Children’s Hospital
“Are any among you suffering? They should pray. Are any among you
sick? They should call for the elders of the church and have them pray
over them…” James 5:13-14
(Call the church office for an up-to-date report from the Hospital Board,
located in the church office.)

Hospital List
Requiem for the Living
A Requiem, at its core, is a prayer for rest - traditionally, for the deceased. The
five movements of Requiem for the Living, however, form a narrative just as much
for the living, and their own struggle with pain and sorrow, as for the dead.
Sam Esteban - Greenville Memorial Children’s Hospital
“Are any among you suffering? They should pray. Are any among you
sick? They should call for the elders of the church and have them pray
over them…” James 5:13-14
(Call the church office for an up-to-date report from the Hospital Board,
located in the church office.)

You may place your card in the offering plate or on the altar at the conclusion of the service.
As you begin your worship, you are invited to study the bulletin for persons and activities to include in your silent prayers of intercession and thanksgiving. Remember the volunteers and staff members who make our
corporate action possible: ushers, acolytes, custodial and support staff, musicians, clergy, and yourself, so that in our common worship, God may be glorified.
We ask for your prayerful silence during the Voluntary.
