Remembering the Saints

O Almighty God, who hast knit together thine elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of thy Son Christ our Lord: Grant us grace so to follow thy blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those ineffable joys which thou hast prepared for those who unfeignedly love thee; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee and the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
Rite I of the Episcopal Church

This Sunday we are celebrating All Saints Day. This time of year is when we remember and celebrate the lives of our loved ones and that for Christians, the end of bodily life is not the end. We have the promise of eternity in heaven with God and all the saints in the “mystical body.” Thanks be to God!

In Christ,
Pastor Elyse
