All Saints Day:
Remembering brothers and sisters who joined the the Great Cloud of Witnesses.

The Ancestors: Celebration of All Saints
Tracy Keenan preaching

Dear Covenant friends and family,

How did you become who you are? Who gave you your DNA, your personality, your drive? Who are the people who shaped you, loved you, challenged you, pushed you, wiped the tears from your eyes, and helped you to see things clearly?

This Sunday we celebrate the ancestors and their wisdom. We celebrate spiritual ancestors, blood ancestors, heritage ancestors, and ancestors of the heart. We will not only honor those who have passed from our midst this past year into the Great Cloud of Witnesses, but all those whose walk upon this earth is part of our own journey. We are not alone.

See you on Sunday…

Grace and peace,
Tracy

Led by David Connolly. This series is an exploration of a book by Marcus Borg.

It provides simple advice on getting along in the world.”
