All Saints Sunday

All Saints Sunday is a day to celebrate and give thanks for the entire "communion of saints," including all baptized believers and those who have died in faith, both the well-known figures and the loved ones in their own lives. It's an occasion to remember the saints, see God's love in action, and reflect on the hope of the resurrection and eternal life in Christ.

We will have a special opportunity to come forward and light a candle in memory of loved ones.

• Luke 6:20-31
  In holy baptism God makes saints out of sinners. In holy communion God forgives the sins of all the saints. In worship today we give thanks for all the saints “who from their labors rest.” In the same breath we petition our God for the strength to hear and to heed the admonitions of Jesus in today’s gospel. Sealed by the Spirit and sustained by the Savior’s body and blood, we live with joy as God gives us breath, to the praise of God’s glory.
