ALL SAINTS’ SUNDAY Today is a special day in the life of the church. Today we observe All Saints’ Sunday. All Saints’ Sunday is that me when we remember those who have passed from life to death… to eternal life. That last part is very important. We are not just remembering those who have died, but those who have outrun us to the throne of God’s grace and con nue to live on in glory. At a designated me in the service, we will have the Naming of the Hon‐ ored Dead. As each name is called, family and friends are invited to stand, a candle will be lighted, and a bell will be sounded. In this way, we are reminded that their light s ll shines and their witness is s ll heard. Below are the names that will be called.

* Call to Worship Pastor: We have come here as a people of faith,
I Am
God speaks to each of us as he makes us; Then walks with us silently out of the night. These are the words we dimly hear: You, sent out, beyond your recall; Go to the limits of your longing. Embody me. Flare up like a flame; And make big shadows I can move in. Let everything happen to you, beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final. Don’t let yourself lose me. Nearby is a country they call life. You will know it by its seriousness. Give me your hand. ‐ Rainer Maria Rilke
