Fall is in the air, which brings thoughts of Halloween and all things spooky. Late October also brings the Autumn Triduum, or Allhallowtide. Allhallowtide is the triduum of All Hallows Eve (Halloween), All Saints Day, and All Souls Day. During this time, we remember those who have gone before us, both the saints we admire and those we love but no longer see.

Many cultures have traditions around Allhallowtide, much like we read the necrology at All Saints' services. One of the most beautiful traditions is the Latin American tradition of the Ofrenda or altar. An Ofrenda is a space, usually in homes and churches, where people place photos of loved ones who have passed to remember them during Allhallowtide. We may only know it as part of Día de los Mu***os, but remembering those who have gone before us connects us across cultures. One of our parishioners, Maria C**t, who is of Cuban descent, approached our clergy about the possibility of having an Ofrenda at our All Saints Evensong this year. We wholeheartedly agreed and thought it was a great idea.

We hope you will consider bringing photos of your loved ones for the Ofrenda, which we will display during Evensong. You can also email them to Marie and we will print them for you. During Evensong, we will also be reading the Necrology, which will be even more powerful with photos on the Ofrenda. After Evensong, you can take your photos home. We will set up the Ofrenda after church on Sunday, November 1st, and will take it down the next day.

We hope that offering this space to remember will make Allhallowtide special and meaningful for you and your family.

If you have any questions, please contact Marie.

Fall is in the air, which brings thoughts of Halloween and all things spooky. However, this time of year has another dimension. Late October also brings the Autumn Triduum, or Allhallowtide. Allhallowtide is the triduum of All Hallows Eve (Halloween), All Saints Day, and All Souls Day. During this time, we remember those who have gone before us, both the saints we admire and those we love but no longer see.

We hope that offering this space to remember will make Allhallowtide special and meaningful for you and your family. Marie will also be speaking more about Ofrendas and other parts of Allhallowtide in our Adult Formation this Sunday, October 25th at 9:15 AM in the Parish Hall.

If you have any questions, please contact Marie.

A Note from Les+

Thank you to all who have gotten pledges into the office. We have prepared a video that we hope will get you all up in your feels and in gratitude for the unique and holy experience of doing the ministry of Christ together at St. Philip's. May it prompt you to give generously in support of our shared ministry. As you prayerfully consider your pledge amount, please hold in mind that we would like all pledges in on or before November 15 so that our finance committee and vestry have as accurate a picture of what we have to budget with well before that budget is approved in January at our Annual Parish Meeting.

As you consider your pledge, you may want to start with the Biblical 10%. If that does not work for your household, consider any amount that you can joyfully give, perhaps an amount that falls somewhere around what you budget for recreation but not so much that it keeps food from your pantry. It is not about giving a certain amount, it is about cultivating the ethic of giving in a holistic way (time, talents, and treasures) back to God a portion of how God has blessed you. Any amount is enough!
