Solemn Choral Evensong this Sunday Evening!
On All Saints Sunday, November 5, we will have a service of Choral Evensong for All Saints. Evensong is a sung service of Evening Prayer with verses and responses, canticles, anthem, congregational hymns and readings from the Old and New Testaments of Scripture. Choral Evensong is a venerable and much-loved service the world over that originated in the Church of England. We encourage everyone to come and experience this beautiful service of praise to God in thanksgiving for His love and mercy- come away from your busy world at the close of the day and be refreshed!

All Saints' Day- This Sunday
|
|
The Feast of All Saints is a major feast day on the Church calendar. In fact, it is one of a very few that can be transferred to Sunday if they fall during the week. In keeping with this practice, we will celebrate All Saints' Day this Sunday, November 5th with a festival Eucharist at 10:30 a.m. and a special
Solemn Choral Evensong at 5:30 p.m.
The 8 am service will also be celebrated as usual. Don't miss this wonderful day where we celebrate with joy the Saints who have gone before us and now dwell in the heavens!

Lutherans, Catholics, Methodists, Reformed and Anglicans “drawn into deeper communion”
An agreement between the Lutheran and Roman Catholic Churches which settled one of the historic disagreement at the center of the Reformation was the focus of
a special service at Westminster Abbey
today. On this day 500 years ago, Martin Luther kick-started the Reformation by posting his 95 theses on the door of All Saints’ Church – the Schlosskirche – in Wittenberg, Germany. Central to his argument was the theological principle that man can be reconciled to God – justification – through faith alone, rather than through good works, penance, or the buying of indulgences.

A Prayer For This Week
O Lord God,
we are surrounded by darkness,
kindly light the candle of love for all of us.
Teach us to go with love, affection, sacrifice,
obedience, forgiveness and how to give to others.
O Lord God,
together with all saints bless us and the whole world with peace and love.
Forgive us from all our sins and strengthen us to lead a life of love and caring
which was shown to us by all Saints who have gone before.
Amen.
