Parade of Saints

PARADE of SAINTS

Sunday, November 2

All Saints Worship: 10:00 am

In preparation for our All Saints worship, we invite you to provide names to the church office of family or friends who have died since last November. 

Our All Saints Event on November 2 will start during the Sunday School Hour, 8:45-9:45 am, for all ages!

Parade of Saints

  • During the Gathering Hymn
  • All are invited to bring a picture of anyone who has entered eternal life and join the procession. 
  • Place the pictures around the Sanctuary during our worship time!
  • Opportunity to light a candle for your “saint!”

All Saints Day

This is the day when we celebrate All Saints Day during worship. All Saints Day typically focuses on those who have died during the year. However, did you know that in the Lutheran Church you do not have to be dead to be a saint? Actually, anyone who follows Jesus is considered a Saint! You are a saint!! Lutherans believe that sainthood is not a thing to be achieved, it is a GIFT of God!!

In our lives, there is likely someone who has really helped us along our faith journey. Everyone is invited to bring a picture of someone who they feel has helped them draw closer to God in faith- sort of a personal Saint! This can be someone who has gone before who now is celebrating life in God’s heavenly Kingdom or someone who is still living here on earth! We will light candles for the Saints and everyone will be invited to fill out a card with the saint’s name and a little information about their life!

At the end of the hour, anyone who has brought a picture of a saint who has gone before and is living in God’s heavenly kingdom is invited to join the Gathering Procession in worship carrying the picture of their Saint. We will then place the pictures in our worship space to remind us of the people who have modeled life in Jesus and can continue to serve as examples for us of a godly life.
