All Saints Sunday
“In many Lutheran churches, All Saints’ Day is celebrated the Sunday after Reformation is celebrated, generally the first Sunday in November. The festival is commonly an occasion to remember those who have died in the Christian faith. In some places, the names of those within the congregation who have died in the last year are read during worship and each name is marked with the tolling of a bell or the lighting of a candle. While the dead are solemnly remembered during worship on All Saints’ Sunday, the festival is, ultimately, a celebration of Christ’s victory over death.”

All Saints Sunday will be celebrated at All Saints Lutheran Church on Sunday, November 3rd during worship. If you would like your loved one’s name read and a candle lit during the remembrance service, please place the information on the clipboard located on the kiosk in the gathering space.
