Leader: Jesus said, I go and prepare a place for you, and I will come again.
All:     We gather in this place to know your presence and your love, now and

         intimately, now and always.

Leader: Jesus said, Believe in me, and Follow me.
All:     Help us to worship you fully believing and following – now and always!

Opening Prayer (Offered by all)
Ever-gracious, Way-Making God, we celebrate the gifts of your Spirit. You have not
fed us a diet of shame or shrinking, but with the milk of your truth you have made us
strong and faithful servants of Christ. You call us to take up the mantle of justice and
to follow wherever faith leads us. You fill us with strength and hope, and you invite
us to share in the cost and joys of discipleship. You promise us splendor and beauty
in this life and in the world to come. Meet us here, we pray, that your word will be
fulfilled in our hearing and that your Spirit will fill us with courage. Amen.
Scripture Readings: Acts 7:55-60; 1 Peter 2:2-10; John 14:1-4
       L: The Word of God, for the people of God.
       P: Thanks be to God!

The Prayer Jesus Taught Us
       Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
       Thy kingdom come.
       Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
       Give us this day our daily bread,
       And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
       And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
       For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
       forever. Amen.
                WE GIVE OURSELVES TO GOD’S WILL AND CARE

Bernadine Larue Hummer, age 99, passed away at her home on April
               30, 2020, surrounded by her family. She is survived by her two sons,
               Douglas E Hummer (Jo Bennett) Arlington, VA and Robert D
               Hummer (wife Joy Hummer) Middletown, MD; a granddaughter, Jan
               E Hummer; and a great granddaughter, Delia A Shugrue; and by
               many dear friends and neighbors.

Bernie was the daughter of Paul Harry Douglas and Martha Ellen (Ifert) Douglas.
She was born and raised in Woodsboro, MD. She married Joseph Elwood Hummer,
in 1940. They were recognized by the Frederick County Marriage Resource Center
on their 75th anniversary as the longest married couple in Frederick County. This
coming August would have been their 80th anniversary. Elwood died in November,
2019.
Bernie graduated from Walkersville High School in 1937. After high school, she
attended the Catholic Convent Secretarial School and worked as a secretary. She and
Elwood moved into their home in Frederick in 1942. They were long-time members
of the Glade United Church of Christ and served on various committees.
While enjoying an active social life, her family was first and foremost. She was
always there for her husband and sons in whatever sporting activities they were
involved in and to support them through whatever life brought their way. She loved
the beach, catching and eating hard-shell crabs, playing cards, dining and dancing to
the big band sound, and traveling. She was a wonderful cook. She also loved tending
to her flowers, particularly the red geraniums that she planted along the front of the
house every summer. Her spirit, her enjoyment of her friends and neighbors, and her
boundless love and devotion for her family will all be greatly missed.
There will be a private grave site burial service for family. A memorial service will
be held later. Memorial contributions may be made to the Glade United Church of
Christ building fund.
The family wishes to thank the Hospice of Frederick County for their expert care of
Mrs. Hummer these past months. The family also wishes to extend special thanks to
Betty for her loving and devoted care for Bernie.
