Hymn How Great Thou Art O Store Gud
1. Oh 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. Refrain: Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee; How great Thou art, how great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee; How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
2. When through the woods and forest glades I wander, and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees; When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur and hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze; Refrain
3. And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin; Refrain
4. When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart. Then I shall bow in humble adoration, and there proclaim, my God how great thou art! Refrain
Reading Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Reading The Lord’s Prayer
Our Maker, Our Mother and Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
Hymn Amazing Grace Amazing Grace Led by Paul Kiteck
1. Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now I’m found; was blind, but now I see.
2. The Lord has promised good to me, his word my hope secures; he will my shield and portion be, as long as life endures.
Closing Prayer
Benediction Ashoken Farewell

October 2, 1927 ~ January 17, 2022
Jennie Belle Shain Kiteck, 94, of Berea, KY entered her eternal home on January 17, 2022 at the Hospice Plus Compassionate Care Center in Richmond, KY.
Jennie was the oldest of four children, born October 2, 1927, in Louisville, KY to Arthur and Goldia Shain. She graduated from Shawnee High School in 1945, where she found her love for music and violin. Jennie attended Berea College as an adult student, graduating in 1981 with an education degree, and was a substitute teacher at Berea Community School. Playing violin and being part of the Berea College Orchestra led to her starting a strings program in Berea where she shared her passion of music with hundreds of children for 36 years at Berea College and Berea Community School. The Berea Chamber of Commerce awarded her the Woman of the Year in 1998.
Jennie was a faithful member of Union Church in Berea, where she was an active member of the church choir. She was preceded in death by her parents; Arthur and Goldia Shain, her husband, Stephen P. Kiteck, siblings MaryAnn Shain Cubranic and William Shain, granddaughter-in-law Sierra Cahoon, and great-grandson Nolan Cahoon.
She is survived by her six children Susan Pfeifer (Patrick) of Louisville, KY, Steve (Sally) of Somerset, KY, Paul (Sharon) of Longmont, CO, Peter (Liz) of Carmichael, CA, Priscilla Cahoon (Jack) of Manteo, NC, and Mary Whitlock (Mark) of Duluth, MN; her sister, Marcia Purdue, of Louisville, KY, 16 grandchildren, and 19 great-grandchildren.
The family appreciates her caregiver, Kim Bussey, The Berea Home Village volunteers, and friends from Union Church, who helped through her final years, and the staff at the Hospice Plus Compassionate Care Center. In lieu of flowers, Memorial contributions may be made to the Union Church Nurture and Care Team fund.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die. Mary Elisabeth Frye
