Worship Times: 9:00 AM & 10:30 AM (Observed at both services)
All Saints Sunday is a meaningful tradition where we pause to honor the people who shape our lives, holding both our grief and our joy together. In worship this morning, we celebrate the full circle of community by remembering loved ones who have passed away and welcoming the newest lives who have joined us.
Remembering Beloved Ones Who Have Died
We pause in prayer, scripture, and music to lift up the names of family members, church members, and dear friends who have passed away since last All Saints’ Day. As each name is spoken, we ring a bell, giving thanks for the love they shared, the faith they lived, and the marks they left on our hearts.
Welcoming New Life: The Saints of Tomorrow
Our celebration of community looks forward just as much as it looks back. Alongside our remembrance, we will lift up and rejoice in the names of all the babies and children born into our community and families over the past year. We celebrate the wonder of new life, God’s ongoing creative work, and our collective promise to surround these little ones with grace and care.
