On Eagles' Wings

When a loved one dies, it is a difficult time to make decisions. Yet families must make many decisions in a short period of time, including ones about the funeral service itself. Now those who are frustrated by the process of selecting Bible texts and themes for their loved one's prayer vigil have a resource to help them in their hour of need. On Eagles' Wings provides ten thematic prayer services designed for use at funeral vigils or as alternative funeral services. The theme of each service is described in a brief paragraph, allowing family and clergy to select the one most appropriate for the deceased. Each service is complete (including a bulletin format), yet there is flexibility for individual input. And the services can be led by either clergy or lay leaders, an especially helpful feature for congregations that are serviced by part-time clergy.
