SRCA NEWS AND NOTES

Dear Parish Family,

 

This Sunday we celebrate All Saints' Day, which falls each year on November 1^st. All Saints Day is a time to recall what it means to have been transferred from the kingdom of this world into God's Kingdom. We live not as those cut off from God or oppressed by the enemy of our souls, but as those who are redeemed, forgiven, loved and free.  It is also a time to give thanks for those saints who have gone before us into the nearer presence of Jesus.

 

As a part of our worship sunday we will focus on recommitting ourselves to those promises made at our baptism and/or confirmation.

 

Our Bible readings for the day are those appointed for All Saints' Day, and include: Daniel 7:1-3, 15-18; Psalm 149; Revelation 7:2-4, 9-17; and Matthew 5:1-12.

 

My prayer as we gather is that we each prepare to welcome God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit into our midst. He longs to draw near to us. Let us long to draw near to him!

Blessings,

Becki+
