A Life of Caring: Remembering Mamie ‘Julia’ Stephens”
In this heartfelt sermon celebrating the life of Mamie “Julia” Stephens, Rev. Marben Bland reminds listeners that Julia’s life was a living testimony of care for bodies, families, and souls. Drawing on 2 Corinthians 5:6-10 and Isaiah 9:6, he shows how Sister Julia embodied compassion in her work as a caregiver, her devotion as a mother of four sons, and her quiet strength within the Greater Bethel AME Church family.
Rev. Bland paints a portrait of a woman who served others with love, discipline, and joy — a woman who knew the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, and Prince of Peace personally. As her earthly body rests, her spirit rejoices in a new heavenly body with the Lord.
The message closes with an invitation — just as Sister Julia cared for others, she would want each of us to care for our souls. “If you died today,” Rev. Bland asks, “would you be with the Lord?” Through prayer and faith, listeners are invited to find the same peace and eternal home that Sister Julia now enjoys.
