All Saints’ Sunday

November 2, 2018

This Sunday will be a very special day in the life of the Church. Every Sunday is special, but this Sunday we observe All Saints’ Sunday. All Saints’ Sunday is that time when we remember those who have passed from life to death… to eternal life. That last part is very important. We are not just remembering those who have died, but those who have outrun us to the throne of God’s grace and continue to live on in glory.

At a designated time in the service, we will have the Naming of the Honored Dead. As each name is called, family and friends are invited to stand, a candle will be lighted, and a bell will be sounded. In this way, we are reminded that their light still shines and their witness is still heard. Below are the names that will be called.
