This weekend we celebrate All Saints Day on Sunday, November 1, celebrating all the holy ones of God, the greater and the lesser, the living on earth as well as those living in heaven. There is a box of ribbons on our graveyard fence, and anyone is invited to write the name of a loved one or saint whom they are remembering and tie it to the fence. On Sunday, we will baptize four new saints into the household of God at the 10 am service. Please pray for Brian, Baby Mercer (parents Jordan and Chris), Olivia, and Jeremiah. At the 5:30 Celtic service, we will focus more on those saints whom we love but see no longer as well as those who grieve, offering a quieter space of prayer and remembrance. All Saints Day is one of the seven principal feasts of the church calendar. It is an important time for our parish family to come together in worship (or view the livestream if you cannot attend in person), a joyful reunion of all the saints!
