ALL SAINTS SUNDAY

This week we observe All Saints Sunday and remember together our friends and loved ones who have lived among Sam's Picture

us and have now ascended to the Church Triumphant. They are dear to our hearts and minds, and as these names are called this week we will remember their "...work of faith, labor of love, and steadfastness of hope." On this Sunday we remember all of those

who have come before us and who will come after us. This "connection" in the church, the realization that faith transcends generations, we call "the communion of saints." In the Apostles' Creed each week, we proclaim our belief in that communion.

As the names are read this week, you will be given a moment to stand in memory of a particular friend or loved one. Remember all of these, their closeness to us, and the great legacy of faith and service which they have left with us.
