SUMMARY:All Saints Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Join us this Sunday at 10:00 am in-person or online. \nAll Saints Sunday is a time to remember and to give thanks for those faithful witnesses of the church who have gone before us and have joined the great cloud of witnesses. In this time of worship\, we speak the names of the saints\, and light a candle for each one. We share the bread and cup of communion and proclaim a day when we all feast together at the table which Christ has prepared. This Sunday also opens the week of a presidential election and so we will take time early in worship to pray for our nation in this tender time. \nIn worship we will light a candle\, ring a bell and after all names have been shared\, we will stand for the saints that have died this year. Often\, we come to All Saints worship remembering the saints that have influenced our lives. We invite you to light a candle for these saints\, even if it is not this year that they have died and for those who may not have been named in worship. There will be tables in the front of the sanctuary\, and you can light a candle before worship\, during the opening hymn or as worship concludes. This practice will express gratitude for all the saints that have influenced and shaped our lives. \nOn this All Saints Day\, we remember\, we weep\, we celebrate as we look to the promised possibilities of life beyond death. We find encouragement to live our lives well before God. Let us experience\, celebrate\, and share God’s love.

SUMMARY:Sunday\, November 10\, 2024 ~ Deepen Our Faith
DESCRIPTION:Join us this Sunday at 10:00 am in-person or online. \nLet us pray. This is a familiar line to our Christ-centered community. Our responses are different\, one from another. Some may quickly bow their heads\, fold their hands\, and wait for heartfelt words. Others may raise their heads and eyes\, or gaze into the eyes of another\, while holding hands. All are postures of prayer\, and all are good and right as we seek the Lord of All Hopefulness. As Christ followers\, we turn to prayer in our thanksgiving and praise and in our despair and grief. Our prayers hold so much of who we are\, what we believe and who we belong to. On this Sunday that holds great uncertainty\, we pray. We gather as one body\, one hope\, one spirit and we speak aloud our prayers. In this mighty act of faith\, we rest and restore our faith\, and we re-align ourselves with the abundance of God\, believing that it is enough for all. Let us gather and let us pray.
