All Saints Sunday Liturgy
Jesus said, I am the resurrection and I am life.
Those who believe in me, even though they die, yet shall they live,
and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
I died, and behold I am alive for evermore,
and I hold the keys of hell and death.
Because I live, you shall live also.
We lift up the names of the Saints gone before us:
Lynn Hurdle Sue McDaniel
We also lift up all the Friends and Family you have lost this year.
Loving God we give you thanks for these Saints. We thank you for the life they lived here on earth and the life they are enjoying in Heaven. Be with us in our grief. We thank you for your grace and love. Amen.

Advent Study Starting November 13th
|
Plan now to join us as we begin the Advent season with a 4-week study on having an almost Christmas.
In John Wesley’s famous sermon, “The Almost Christian,” he encouraged people to follow Christ wholeheartedly. In Almost Christmas: A Wesleyan Advent Experience, author and pastor Magrey deVega leads a group of authors in exploring how we can make the same commitment to Christ during Advent and connect our Wesleyan heritage with the traditional Advent themes of Love, Hope, Joy, and Peace. This is a fun and interesting book which I’m sure you will enjoy.
Our study will be on Wednesday evenings, November 13 & 20 and December 4 & 11. (NOTE: the week of Thanksgiving there is no study) We will begin at 6:45 after WNS, meeting in the JOY Room. All are invited to come! Contact Barb Combs with any questions.
Make your Wesleyan heritage a part of your Christmas this year!
