Faith Anchored In Hope

From Despair To Hope

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 8, 2025

Funerals today are often called celebrations of life. While we grieve, we also celebrate the hope that is ours through Christ. As Paul reminds us, we do not “grieve as others who have no hope,” for Jesus’ death and resurrection assures us of eternal life.

Funerals are some of the hardest moments of our lives. We come with tears, with memories, with aching hearts. Death feels final. We feel the empty chair at the table. We hear the silence where laughter once rang. We even catch the scent of a shirt still hanging in the closet, and it all reminds us ...read more

And there's this place there, Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park - where you can be the first person in America to see the sunrise. Imagine that.
