Opening Welcome and Scriptures from Revelation
(NIV)
(NIV)
2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in Me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”
“For God so loved the world that He sent His one and only Son, that who so ever should believe in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world through Him.”
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart ! I have overcome the world.”
Jesus said,
“ I am the Resurrection and the Life.
He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whosoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this ?”

Life Story
Life Story
John Hoban Jr was born on April 11th, 1944 here in Kokomo, Indiana. Growing up John loved to spend time at his grandma and grandpa Hoban’s farm which was place of adventure and an escape for John as he was growing up. I can remember him speaking about it with great fondness. John was not only quite the athlete but was also a tremendous singer and dancer. When he was in high school he performed in a variety show called Hallabaloo in which he was the MC . His brother Joe told me he went to the show not expecting much and not wanting to cheer for his older brother but found himself joining in with a packed crowd to give his brother and friends a standing ovation.

He loved being outside and flowers. He loved to fish and play sports and even used to body build. He loved music and to tell joke. John had a smile that could light up any room and cheer up anyone. But other than his family the thing he loved most was his lord and savior Jesus Christ. in 1973 John and Ruth accepted Jesus christ when a Pastor visited their home, their lives and eternities were forever changed. Church faithfully served his lords church for many years. He was apart of this church for many years. He served in many roles and loved to go to hopehill girls home on missions trips and he loved to build ramps for those who needed them. John was a man of deep compassion and generosity. He would often round up in paying people who did work for him and Ruth. He loved paying for service members or people he felt led to bless when he was out to eat. I know myself and many others were blessed by his generosity…John once bought me a shotvac

You were not only my grandpa, but you were my friend. You were always there whenever I needed someone to listen. We had so many conversations that meant the world to me. You always gave me advice when it was needed or made me laugh when I needed it. You walked beside me my entire life. You are my hero and I will cherish every moment that we had. I love you so much and miss you. These are only a few of my thoughts. I could go on forever. –Alex Grandson
