MUSICAL PRELUDE

THE GATHERING

THE WORD OF GRACE AND GREETING

*HYMN ‘How Great Thou Art’ Music by Andrew Moodey

PRAYER Pastor David Ravinder

The Lord be with you.

And also with you.

Let us pray.

O God, who gave us birth, you are ever more ready to hear than we are to pray. You know our needs before we ask, and our ignorance in asking. Give to us now your grace, that as we shrink before the mystery of death, we may see the light of eternity. Speak to us once more your solemn message of life and of death. Help us to live as those who are prepared to die. And when our days here are accomplished, enable us to die as those who go forth to live, so that living or dying, our life may be in you, and that nothing in life or in death will be able to separate us from your great love in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.

Mrs. Mary Udaya Pulipati

Oct 30, 1945 – Feb 15, 2025

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

2 Timothy 4:7

Mrs. Udaya Pulipati was called to glory on February 15th, 2025, surrounded by her family after a beautiful prayer meeting held in her honor. To her friends and colleagues, she was known as Mary, while her family and church members affectionately referred to her as Udaya.

Born to Mr. Nittala Manasseh Philip and Mrs. Kamala Philip in Rajahmundry, A.P. India, Mrs. Udaya Pulipati graduated from Andhra University with a master’s degree in English Literature and a bachelor’s degree in Education. She dedicated over 20 years of her career as an English lecturer in India before immigrating to the USA, where she continued her professional journey working in health insurance.

Mrs. Udaya Pulipati was happily married to Mr. Vijay Pulipati for 54 years. She is survived by her husband Vijay, and three children with their spouses: Mrs. Esther Moodey wife of Mr. Paul Moodey, Mr. Francis Pulipati husband of Mrs. Hadassah Pulipati and Elizabeth Gummadi wife of Mr. Paul Gummadi. Her nine grandchildren: Dr. Philip Gurunadam Moodey, Dr. Daniel Gyanadeep Moodey, Jason Alexander Moodey, Andrew Israel Moodey, Ezekiel ShanthiNirmal Pulipati, David Nathaniel Pulipati, Thalitha Cumi Pulipati, Jacob Isaiah Gummadi and Caleb Justin Gummadi. Her parents and three brothers preceded her in passing and her only surviving younger sister Dr. Sarah Bushi stays in the UK.

Mrs. Udaya Pulipati was a radiant woman with a bright smile that reflected her joyful heart and eyes that sparkled with love. She embodied faith, grace, love, forgiveness, wisdom, and resilience. Her family was central to her life, particularly her nine cherished grandchildren. As a devoted follower of the Lord Jesus, Mrs. Udaya Pulipati was a powerful witness to Him. She was actively involved in her church, conducting Bible studies, delivering countless sermons, and sharing the gospel with many.

Mrs. Udaya Pulipati will be profoundly missed by her family and friends. She will live on in our hearts forever. We thank and praise God for her beautiful life.

Just as I am

Song / Hymn

Hymn Lyrics

Just as I am, without one plea,

but that thy blood was shed for me,

and that thou bidd'st me come to thee,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, and waiting not

to rid my soul of one dark blot,

to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, though tossed about

with many a conflict, many a doubt,

fightings and fears within, without,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, thou wilt receive,

wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;

because thy promise I believe,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

In the Sweet By and By

There's a land that is fairer than day,

And by faith we can see it afar,

For the Father waits over the way

To prepare us a dwelling place there.

Refrain:

In the sweet by and by,

We shall meet on that beautiful shore;

In the sweet by and by,

We shall meet on that beautiful shore.

We shall sing on that beautiful shore

The melodious songs of the blest;

And our spirits shall sorrow no more-

Not a sigh for the blessing of rest. [Refrain]

To our bountiful Father above

We will offer our tribute of praise

For the glorious gift of His love

And the blessings that hallow our days. [Refrain]

How great Thou art

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,

Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,

Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
