Good evening everyone, grace & peace be with you all -

We gather here today with a mixture of sorrow and gratitude, as we come together to celebrate the life of our beloved pastor, Geriel de Oliveira.

He is survived by His wife Silvia, His children Geriann, Erick and Sherry. His grand Children:

and countless others spiritual children.

It is in moments like these that we reflect on the impact one person can have on the lives of many.

Pastor Geriel was more than just a leader; he was a beacon of hope, a source of unwavering support, and a vessel of profound wisdom, compassion and humility. His life was a testament to the power of faith and the strength of community. As we remember and honor Pastor Geriel, let us celebrate the profound legacy he have left behind—the countless lives he touched, the lessons he imparted, and the love he shared.

Today, we come together not only to mourn the loss but also to rejoice in the remarkable journey of Pastor Geriel's life. May we find comfort in the stories we share, the memories we cherish, and the faith that unites us all. Let us embrace this time of remembrance with open hearts, as we honor the extraordinary life of a person who has given us so much.

Thank you all for being here to celebrate this wonderful life with us.

Senhor, neste momento de lembrança, pedimos que Tua presença reconfortante esteja entre nós. Envolva-nos em Tua paz e ajude-nos a encontrar consolo em meio à nossa dor. Que possamos lembrar do Pastor Geriel não apenas com lágrimas de tristeza, mas com alegria pelo legado que ele deixou para trás — as inúmeras vidas que ele inspirou e a fé inabalável que ele compartilhou.

Help us to celebrate Pastor Geriel's life with the reverence and love he so richly deserve.

Ajuda-nos a celebrar a vida do Pastor Geriel com a reverência e o amor que ele tão ricamente merece. Que as memórias que compartilhamos e as histórias que contamos sejam um testamento de Tua graça e do profundo impacto de uma vida vivida na fé.

Guia-nos neste serviço, Senhor, e que tudo o que fizermos e dissermos seja um reflexo do Teu amor e glória. Colocamos este tempo em Tuas mãos, confiando em Tuas promessas e encontrando força em Teu cuidado eterno.

Em nome do Teu Filho, Jesus Cristo, nós oramos.

Passages in order of reading

Pastor Vonn

How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you bestow in the sight of men on those who take refuge in you. In the shelter of your presence you hide them from the intrigues of men; in your dwelling you keep them safe from accusing tongues.…

Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.

—Psalm 31:19, 20, 24

Hermano Elber ou Noel (a confirmar)

17 Pues esta aflicción leve y pasajera nos produce un eterno peso de gloria que sobrepasa toda comparación,

18 al no poner nuestra vista en las cosas que se ven, sino en las que no se ven; porque las cosas que se ven son temporales, pero las que no se ven son eternas. - 2 Co 4:17–18

Pastor Luciano

1 Aquele que habita no abrigo do Altíssimo

e descansa à sombra do Todo-poderoso

2 pode dizer ao SENHOR:

“Tu és o meu refúgio e a minha fortaleza,

o meu Deus, em quem confio”.

3 Ele o livrará do laço do caçador

e do veneno mortal .

4 Ele o cobrirá com as suas penas,

e sob as suas asas você encontrará refúgio;

a fidelidade dele será o seu escudo protetor. (Ps 91:1–4).
