for pipelines and a plant won’t take
place until early spring, after con-
sultants are brought on board to

mention, however, that it’s likely the

service is being held this time of
year because the holiday season is
often most painful for persons
grieving any kind of loss.
There is the hope that a service
at this time will underscore the
truth that God knows their suffer-
ing and that God’s people care
about them and understand the
immensity of their loss and suffer-
ing.
It is the hope that Christmas
might be redeemed for those
whose grief is especially intense in
this season,” Owens said.
There will be a time for fellow-
ship in the Education Building
immediately following the service.
If you need any additional infor-
mation, please call Gaddis United
Methodist Church at (210) 995-
