Heartwood Church

Good Friday Service
2023-04-07 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Chicago) | Heartwood Church, 6477 10th St. N., Oakdale, MN, 55128, United States
Lent is a season when we sometimes deny the body with fasting or some other discipline.
This year we will renew our bodies with the discipline of the Sabbath. The Sabbath was given for rest, for restoration. Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath, and we are spending Lent learning how Jesus restores us, body and spirit.
Our worship is Ancient-Future and Multi-Generational, so you will experience elements from the past and modern innovations. We’ll hear the joyous noise of children along with mature reverence.
We encourage you to participate in whatever way you feel moved.

Pamela J. Anderson (nee) Stull went home to be with the Lord on December 17, 2023. She was preceded in death by her parents, Lester and Oren Stull and her brother-in-law Doyle Nygaard. She is survived by her husband Richard (Andy), their two sons, Rich and Chris (Sonja), and five grandchildren, Ashlyn, Leila, Cam, A.J., and Jaiden. Pam also left behind her three sisters, Leora Gilbert (David), Janet Bauman (Clyde), and Sandra Nygaard. She had many nieces and nephews that she also loved.
Pam was born April 14, 1951, in Bismarck, ND. She was the second daughter of a second daughter of a second daughter. She graduated from Bismarck High School in 1969 and promptly left for St. Paul, MN. She got a job at Whirlpool where she met her future husband, Andy. She worked at Whirlpool until they shut down the St. Paul plant in 1984. A while later she got her day care license and did that for 30 years. Many, many children came and went in all those years and Pam loved them all. She even had second generation children in her day care.
Anyone who knew Pam knew that she loved to take pictures. Usually if Pam was there, so was her camera. She loved organizing them and sharing them with everyone.
After Pam retired, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She faced it head on and never wavered from her faith in God. She would go for long walks with her camera and just try to enjoy herself. She went through some trying times, but always tried to keep a positive attitude. She will be missed by everyone who knew her.
A celebration of life service will be held on Saturday, March 23, 2024, 3:00 p.m. at Heartwood Church, 6477 10th St. N., Oakdale, MN 55128.

PRAYER (by Sarah Frazier)
O God, we give you praise for these people who have allowed us to serve and worship You in freedom. We do not take for granted that there are millions of Christians around the world afraid of prison or even death because of what they believe. Our veterans are a significant reason why we do not fear and we thank You for them.
Heavenly Father who sees all of the hurt, comfort the hearts of those who have lost loved ones in the military. It might seem to us “unfair,” but You are the God who ordains our days. Let us remember those families are still grieving today. Remind them of Your love for them. Their loss provides for us a safe place to live and worship You. Keep those families close to Your heart today. Comfort them and let them know we do not forget their loved one’s sacrifice. Amen.
