I had a funeral today for someone I didn't really know. I was filling in for my Methodist colleague who was out of town and one of his daughters is a member of one of the churches I serve. I struggled with this one. The tiny church was packed, mostly with family and it was just surreal because I didn't really know this man. I had met him at an auction sale one time. It had been a long time since I had done a funeral for which I did not know the person who had passed.
On the other side of this, I am happy to do funerals for families. It's this wonderful opportunity to share the gospel and hope of Christ.
Good night
