Members of the City Limits Assembly of God Church used balloons Wednesday to send messages to their friend and fellow congregation member, 15-year-old Stephen Gross.

Hundreds of balloons, each bearing messages such as "We love you, Stephen," drifted into the sky from near the church at Ridge Avenue and Chew Street in Allentown, reaching for heaven.

Stephen, baptized at the church a scant five weeks ago, was planning to give a talk to the congregation Sunday night. But the Dieruff High School freshman was killed by a car that afternoon at E. Hamilton and Albert streets while riding his bicycle.

About 195 congregation members -- including parents Stephen Sr. and Ann and 14-year-old brother Daniel -- marked Stephen's passing with an upbeat service at the church.

Stephen would have preferred that to a gloomy one, said the Rev. Jim Rivera, church pastor.

On a stage inside the chapel, Rivera and a woman sang with a small band of church members. Others danced in the aisles and in front of the stage. One woman dropped to the floor in tears.

At one point Gross approached the stage, his hands clasped together. A large group surrounded him as he mouthed: "I belong to Jesus, I belong to him, I belong to Jesus, free from sin," the song Rivera and the others were performing.

"These are people that have so much love and compassion in their hearts, they would do that for anybody, not just us," Gross said later. "They're doing that because they love Stephen."

Stephen became a member of City Limits Assembly of God Church on the Tuesday before he died. Rivera was going to announce the news at Sunday night's service. The boy's membership came after 12 weeks of classes in which he was invited to learn about the Bible and ask questions about God and life.

Assistant Pastor Luis Torrado described Stephen as someone who "led not by what he said but what he did." Torrado recalled that the boy was able to calm rowdy classmates just by showing good behavior himself.

Rivera told the congregation that Stephen's death made them "think of the future" and about taking responsibility for family and loved ones.

Gross was aware his son's death is a lesson to parents.

"I hope they really think before they let their kids go out. Before they leave in the morning, before they go to bed at night, they should tell their kids they love them," he said. "Family is everything."

The driver who hit Stephen, Alejandro Martinez, 22, of 1042 Spring Garden St., Allentown, has been charged with aggravated assault, speeding and driving with a suspended license and is in Lehigh County Prison under $25,000 bail.

Allentown City Council on Wednesday asked the administration to take steps to slow vehicles coming off the Hamilton Street bridge.

Noting that police had measured 76 feet of skid marks, Gross said he has driven the bend where the accident happened to see for himself if Martinez could have been following the speed limit.

"I've tried going 25, you can't skid at 25," he said softly. "The man should have never been there."
