All Saints’ Day Service
Wednesday, October 27 ~ Sanctuary, 6:00 PM
Dinner at 5:00 PM, Trentham Hall
The All Saints Service is the time set aside by the Christian church to celebrate the lives of the faithful Christian departed, whether they are from ages past, such as early church martyrs, or whether they have passed on recently as family and friends of our congregation. The service will take place Wednesday, November 5, at 6:00 PM in the Sanctuary. The service will feature special music from our Sanctuary Choir as well as a message from Dr. Shiell. Dinner, served in Trentham Hall at 5:00 PM, will precede this worship service. Childcare will be available for babies to age five.
Our service remembers any loved ones connected to our church family who have passed away. During the service, we will arrange a colorful bouquet of roses to symbolize their eternal life in Christ. If you wish to include a name in the program and rose bouquet, please notify Beth Winstel, 546-4652, by October 17. The suggested donation for the rose is $5, and the bud will be available following the service to take home.
Come and celebrate the lives of those who have lived as fine examples of the Christian life for all to follow.
