Funerals and Important Decisions
As a loved one nears physical death or dies unexpectedly, family members must make difficult decisions regarding a funeral.

For funeral assistance or to report the death of a member of the congregation, contact Doug Schoen at 262.796.5745 (church office), or 414.916.5745 (cell), or call the church receptionist at 262.786.7051.
