At the heart of the reform movement was the gospel, the good news that it is by grace through faith that we are justified and set free. All Saints Day Tuesday, November 01, 2016 The custom of commemorating all of the saints of the church on a single day goes back at least to the third century. All Saints Day celebrates the baptized people of God, living and dead, who make up the body of Christ. On this day or the following Sunday, many congregations will remember the faithful who have died during the past year. Martín de Porres, renewer of society, died 1639 Thursday, November 03, 2016 Martín was the son of a Spanish knight and a freed black slave from Panama. As a lay brother in the Order of Preachers (Dominicans), he engaged in many charitable works in Lima, Peru. He founded an orphanage, a hospital, and a clinic for cats and dogs.   Christ's Care List Healing of body, mind and spirit:   Enrique Arellano Tom & Connie Bell Calie & Robert Bremer (Jessica Nelson's daughter and son in-law) Vera Bennett Cassie Bremer (Jessica Nelson's daughter) Darren & Elline Campas Kathy Campas-Sutin Juan Caudillo Marty Clark Clyde & Mary (friends of Angelia Siragusa) Margaret Cole Wayne (Vera Bennett's friend) Carleen Embree Dee Fix Harold Fix Helen Gainey (Vera Bennett's friend) Shirley Gonsalves Amanda Hanifan (daughter of Jody & Gary Schumacher) Amy Hanus (friend of Karen Spears) Bessie Hawkins (Vera Bennett's friend) Eddy and David Hawkyard and families Sheldon Heitz Anna Hervey Donald Hervey Sam Hervey Phyllis Huseby (Jody Schumacher's aunt) Jan Jackson Gladys Jones (Kathy Campas-Sutin's Mother) Louisa Johnson Caryl Kroan Rick Kroan Veronica Laird (friend of Keith & Sonya Domingo) Loree Lucas Carol Massie (friend of Valda Rose) Pr.
