Celebrate All Saints Day with us!
PARADE OF SAINTS!
Sunday, November 1
8:45-9:45 AM Education Hour (All Ages!)
10:00 AM Worship
Did you know that in the Lutheran church, you don’t have to be dead to be a saint?
While All Saints Day often honors those who have passed away, Lutherans believe that anyone who follows Jesus Christ is a saint. Sainthood isn’t something earned or achieved—it is a free GIFT of God’s grace! You are a saint!
We all have people who have helped shape our faith journey. This All Saints Day, we invite you to bring a picture of a personal “saint” in your life—someone (living or passed) who has helped draw you closer to God.
What to Expect:
- Honor & Remembrance: We will light candles and fill out card displays for our named saints. We will also explore the lives of more famous saints from different times and places.
- Worship Procession: At the end of the hour, all are invited to join the worship gathering procession carrying their saint’s photo to display in our sanctuary.
- “Saints & Sweets” Refreshments: Enjoy cookies baked from recipes passed down by saints who came before us!
How You Can Participate:
- Bring a Photo: Pack a picture of a personal saint (living or passed) to display during Sunday School and worship.
- Bake a Recipe: Have a favorite cookie recipe from a mom, grandparent, or dear friend? Bake a batch to share for fellowship during the Sunday School hour! You can also bring a recipe to share!
Watch our weekly announcements for more details in the coming weeks!
