A prayer service for a lost friend

There are only poignant and chilling sadness as we remember a friend who disappeared this time last year.

August 30, 2000

There is little known about where Jutta is or what happened. Hope-tinged sorrow filled the small chapel where we gathered to celebrate Jutta's life and to share prayer and support and song.

********************

This, the prayer of approach

"Dear God we come before you tonight with sighs too deep for words. We come to hold up Jutta Anna Bentz in prayer and offer you our thanks for the gift of her life. We give you thanks for her kindness, her humour, and her passion for life. We invite you into our presence to comfort us, and fill our hearts with your love as we listen, as we sing and as we pray. Amen.

**********************

I gasp, in small inadequacy, and trace the path our ters create in our lives.
