All Saints' Day!

Early on in the Church’s life, people of heroic faith were lifted up and celebrated. Because many of them were martyred for their faith, they began to occupy special days of remembrance in the Church’s calendar. All Saints' Day serves to celebrate all of those who’ve followed Jesus no matter the public significance of their faith - people just like you and me. Because of that we will name those who are close to us who have died over the past year, and those who have been part of our parish and gone on to be with the Lord.

It’s a perfect day for baptisms because this day is the annual feast where we celebrate every saint, known and unknown, living on earth and in heaven. We’re excited to welcome 4 young people into Christ’s Church this Sunday by Baptism.

In addition we'll continue our sermon series on Rowan Williams's book Being Christian, transitioning from the essential of Baptism to the Bible.

As we behold the face of God in the face of Christ, we are transformed into his image. This is what it means to be fully human—to become like Jesus, the truly human one, and to grow more and more in the freedom of the children of God.
