All Saints Day
Sunday, November 1st is All Saints Day. Here at All Saints Lutheran Church, we include a remembrance service during the regular 10 am worship service to remember those who have gone before us.
During the remembrance we read loved ones’ names, and a family member comes forward to light a candle(s) as they remember them. Then another name is read and that family comes forward and so on. We use a beautiful heart-shaped display, which a church family made for this service.
Please reply to this email with the names you would like to include in the special remembrance service.
