Saturday, November 1st, is
All Saints Day. It is an ancient Feast Day in the life of the Church,
when we remember that we are, in the words of the writer of Hebrews,
surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses. A vitally important part
of what it means to be human is to be in community, and that
community is ultimately made up of far more than just those in some
small inner circle. Indeed, our connections stretch out across space
and time, encompassing all those who have gone before us. On Sunday
during our morning worship service we will celebrate this powerful
reality with a special litany. There will be an opportunity for you
to name a loved one who has died, and then later in the litany a
chance for you to name someone still living who touches your life in
a personal way. I hope you will join me in worship on Sunday as
together we catch a glimpse of the larger reality in which we live.
