This is a recording of the funeral service for Ruth Reese, held on Sat, July 13, 2024. (Ruth's husband, Herman, was the first pastor of both Peace Lutheran and St. Matthew Lutheran.)

The sermon for the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost, "Our Weakness, Christ's Strength", was based on the Epistle reading, 2 Corinthians 12:1-10.

The sermon for the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost was delivered in three devotional messages based on the day's Scripture readings. The three parts of the sermon are included in the recording: "Our God of Hope" (based on Lamentations 3:22-33); "Our God of Grace" (based on 2 Corinthians 8:1-15); and "Our God of Power" (based on Mark 5:21-43).
