From the Minister
This Sunday we celebrate one of the most wonderful Sundays of the year, All saints and All Souls. Every year on this day, as individuals, we are able to remember those who have died, and as a congregation, support one another in this time of mourning and memory. This year, I pray that we all also remember others personally unknown to us who have died: unknown people in Gaza and Israel, unknown people in Ukraine and Russia, and the 219 enslaved people our church will be honoring with our memorial.

From the Bench
For All Saints, we will have almost the entire Duruflé Requiem, conducted by Brian Church, Alison LaRosa, and Jedediah Rellihan, and featuring soloists Aubrey Bosse and Brian Church.

Light a Candle in Remembrance:
All Saints and All Souls
Sunday, Nov 5
Morning Light, 9:00 AM | Morning Prayer, 11:00 AM
On Sunday, November 5, King’s Chapel celebrates All Saints and All Souls, when we honor the memory of beloved individuals who have died. Those who have lost close family members over the past year are invited to light a candle and say a few words about your beloved. Other congregants, in tribute to those who have died in previous years, are invited to come forward next, and light candles without speaking. The Choir will sing selections from Duruflé's deeply moving Requiem at the 11:00 AM Morning Prayer service. Please join us as we come together in remembrance of those beloved souls whom we will always miss, love, and cherish.
If you have suffered the loss of a close loved one over the past 12 months, please contact Senior Minister Joy Fallon for full details.

Sunday Concert Series: Music, She Wrote
Sunday, Nov 26, 5:00 PM
Our next Sunday concert is the first of a double-header (second installment coming up in January) entitled Music, She Wrote. It consists of organ works by female composers, ranging from pioneering Elfrida Andrée (who petitioned the Swedish parliament to become the first female organist in all the land), Amy Beach (first successful American female composer), and Florence Price (first African-American female composer to have her music performed by a major symphony orchestra), to more contemporary fare, such as Nancy Plummer Faxon's festive Toccata and Emma Lou Diemer’s fiery Fiesta.

Tales from the Crypt was a huge success!
The History Program welcomed 271 visitors into the crypt this October during our popular Tales from the Crypt tours! Getting to explore this unique space by candlelight to learn about about historic burial customs is such a special experience that we are sure created lasting memories for everyone. It is a favorite tour amongst the Educators and visitors alike.
