This All Saints Sunday we celebrated the life of all saints. Pastor Eric reminded us that we are all saints (and sinners) – whether living or deceased. He took a picture of the children during their sermon and taped this to the front of the Candle Cross to signify the “living saints”.
The names of the members of St. Mark that passed away last year were read as well as others our members wanted acknowledged. During Prayers of the People, congregation members came forward to light candles acknowledging loved ones who have passed.
The Gospel was about the raising of Lazarus by Jesus. Pastor Eric shared three questions that were raised in his mind from this Gospel. Listen to the sermon to see how he answers these questions, and once again, shares God’s love and Grace with us.
