All Saints’ Sunday

“All Saints’ Day celebrates all the saints of God–those whose names we remember and those whose names we do not know–whose lives have given witness great or small, to the resurrection of Jesus.  The liturgy of All Saints is an Easter liturgy.  It is the only principal feast that punctuates the long season of ordinary time between Trinity Sunday and Christmas … and serves as both the celebration of the martyrs and saints of ages past and the remembrance of the saints of our own time.”    — Celebrating Liturgical Time

At Saint Paul’s we remember especially those in our families and parish families who have died in the last year.  Please join us as we celebrate through worship the Communion of Saints.

Collect for All Saints’
Almighty God, you have knit together your elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of your Son Christ our Lord: Give us grace so to follow your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those ineffable joys that you have prepared for those who truly love you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
