October 30, 2015 This Sunday, November 1st All Saints Sunday  Holy Communion - 10 AM   All are welcome to receive Communion! The Festival of All Saints celebrates the baptized people of God, living and dead, who are the body of Christ. As November heralds the dying of the landscape in many northern regions, the readings and liturgy call us to remember all who have died in Christ and whose baptism is complete. We bring our memories to the table and find there a foretaste of Isaiah's feast to come. We will remember our loved ones who have died. Please be sure to read the announcement below, and submit names of your beloved dead if you have not already done so.     Sunday's readings:  Isaiah 25:6-9, Psalm 24, Revelation 21:1-6a, John 11:32-44   Remember Loved Ones Who Have Died with Joy and Thanksgiving on All Saints Day, November 1st! You are invited to bring pictures or other small mementos of your loved ones who have died. We will place these items near the altar as an offering of thanksgiving, and a reminder that, when we come to God's table, we share in a foretaste of the feast of God's saints of every time and place. Worshipers will also have an opportunity to light candles in memory of those who have died, and names of our beloved dead will be read during the prayers There's still time to add names of your loved ones who have died!  Names of our beloved dead will be read aloud during worship.Click here to add names of your loved ones who have died, whom you would like to remember with joy and thanksgiving on All Saints Day.
