What's Happening in November?
All Saints Sunday
November 1st and 2nd
On this day, we will remember people who have passed through this earthly vale during the past year and who now have found their home in the church triumphant. On November 1st and 2nd we remember them and one more time.
“Rest eternal grant them O Lord and let light perpetual shine upon them”
If you want us to name a loved one, please let the church office know.
This year we are trying to portray the Fellowship of Believers in heaven on All Saint’s Sunday as we commemorate those who have passed - at any time, not just this past year. If you would like to share pictures of loved ones who have passed, please leave the pictures on the glass display case in the hallway. They will be placed on a table in the sanctuary for the services on November 1st and 2nd.
You can take them home after the service.
