Delight in Serving as Saints By The Rev. Rick Matters
Acolytes lead our procession into church, an emblem of our saintly vocation. The history of All Saints’ narrates the procession of saints whom we immediately follow. Most of the ministries displayed in Seccombe Hall this weekend were begun by generations who preceded us. There are also many names of peoples and ministries not yet displayed, which represent opportunities for you to take up an existing ministry, or to start something new. And, of course, the names are reminders of our sainthood, for we all exercise ministry in many untold ways. Today we are celebrating the ministry of the saints! We not only follow those who preceded us, but also lead others. Many children and adults now follow your lead, for we are the saints of God.

Helping Those in Need in Your Own Community By Marcia Jeiroudi
Impact those in need in your very own community by donating non-perishable food. All Saints’ and the Church of the Wayfarer have joined together to collect food for the hungry until November 24th when the Church of the Wayfarer will process to our church and the donations will be blessed. Please bring food items and place them in the basket as you enter the church, such as, spaghetti and spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, chili, hearty soups, tuna, rice, cereal, macaroni and cheese, and canned fruits and vegetables. In addition to these items, we think it would be great to provide traditional Thanksgiving Day foods, such as, canned yams, cranberry,stuffing mix, packaged gravy, and canned pumpkin. Thank you for your holiday kindness.
