THE WEIGHT OF SILENCE

THE WEIGHT OF SILENCE


Silence is not empty—it leans.

Where truth stands and we do not speak,

What is not resisted is repeated.

What is not named is strengthened.

What we allow, we carry forward.


The Cross reveals this:

and absence can sustain.


Break the silence—

before it finishes what it has begun.

전 혜진 장로 하관식: She Is Not Here; Her Love Remains Among You (6/11/26)

 > OPENING PRAYER:  하늘에 계신 아버지, 오늘 우리는 감사하는 마음으로 전 혜진 장로님의 삶을 기리기 위해 모였습니다. 그분의 사랑과 믿음, 그리고 가족과 이웃을 향한 신실한 섬김에 감사드립니다. 슬픔에 잠긴 우리에게, 죽음을 이기시고 영원한 생명의 길을 여신 예수 그리스도를 통한 부활의 소망을 일깨워 주옵소서. 주님의 평강으로 이 가정을 위로하시고 주님의 임재하심으로 새 힘을 주시며, 빈 무덤이 주는 소망으로 우리의 마음을 채워 주옵소서. 예수님의 이름으로 기도드립니다.  아멘. Heavenly Father, We gather today with grateful hearts to remember the life of Elder Hejin. Thank You for her love, her faith, and her faithful service to her family and neighbors. As we mourn, remind us of the hope of the Resurrection through Jesus Christ, who conquered death and opened the way to eternal life. Comfort this family with Your peace, strengthen them with Your presence, and fill our hearts with the hope of the Empty Tomb. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. ***"He is not here; He has risen." — Mark 16:6 *** She Is Not Here; Her Love Remains Among You 그녀는 떠났지만, 그녀의 사랑은 여러분 곁에 남아 있습니다 사랑하는 가족과 친지 여러분, 오늘 우리는 많은 이들에게 축복이 되었던 한 분의 삶을 기억하고 기리기 위해 이 자리에 모였습니다. 우리가 사랑했던 분이 더 이상 우리 곁에 육신으로 계시지 ...
