Dear Friends,
Year after year we come together on All Saints' Sunday to say out loud the names of our departed church members during our worship services. We recall the people and their stories, and we lift them up to God in a spirit of thanksgiving, love and remembrance. Over the generations, First Church’s saints have dreamed, built, served and loved, and we are grateful to be part of the long legacy of our church community.
Despite knowing we are blessed to be part of our church community and to have known and loved so many saints, it’s easy to feel the weight of the world on our shoulders. Our nation is divided, and many of us struggle with the state of politics. Intolerance and injustice seem never ending. War and violence are plaguing our world. One way I know to combat this heaviness is to come together, as one community, committed to values of inclusion, hope, peace, compassion, integrity and grace.
Not only do we come together to be comforted and inspired, but then we are called to go out into the world sharing our faith and love with others, inspired by the saints of our church.
We hope you will join us this Sunday at 8:00 a.m. in the Micah Chapel or at 10:00 a.m. in the Meetinghouse or you can watch online. Pastor Emeritus David Taylor will be preaching, and at the later service, our kindergarteners and first graders will share their gift of singing with us. Holy Communion will be served at both services.
The bulletin, large print bulletin and announcement slides are available on our website. You can watch any of our livestreamed or recorded services on our YouTube channel.
A place at the table is ready for you so come just as you are, and together we will find connection, inspiration and love.
Love,
Kate
