For centuries, Christians have commemorated those who, having professed faith in the living Christ in days past, now have entered into the nearer presence of our Lord. This year we will celebrate the Feast of All Saints on November 6th. Following the 11 am service we will have our next Intergenerational Educational Event, open to children and adults of all ages. We’ll sing, read a Bible story, and learn a bit about the saints of God, both famous and unknown- and discuss what it means that we are called to be saints too! We’ll have a chance to get refreshments before we start and finish in under an hour – please join us!
