Once a year, on All Saints’ Day, we take time to pause and remember those we love but see no longer—the saints in our lives, both known and unknown, who shaped our world in profound ways. All Saints’ Day reminds us of the spiritual bond between heaven and earth, a connection that lies at the heart of our faith.
“Give us faith to see in death the gate of eternal life, so that in quiet confidence we may continue our course on earth, until, by your call, we are reunited with those who have gone before; through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
~from the Liturgy for the Burial of the Dead
On Sunday, November 3, 2024, we will gather to read the necrology, a list of all those who have passed this past year and loved ones who have gone before. Everyone in attendance will have the opportunity to add names of loved ones to this list. If you cannot join us in person, you may email the names you’d like read aloud to Pam Searcy at [email protected].
This special service will also include the sacrament of baptism, welcoming new believers into the Body of Christ, beautifully illustrating the full circle of life in faith—from beginning to end. After the service, there will be a brief blessing in the Bishop’s Garden for those with family members buried there.
All Saints’ Sunday is a time to open our hearts, remembering the people who have touched our lives in significant ways—those well-known and those known only to us. It is a day to give thanks for their gifts, their teachings, and most of all, for what God accomplished through them, using them as instruments of grace for us and for the kingdom.
Join us as we honor their legacies and celebrate the communion of saints in this sacred time together.
