Dear Heavenly Father,

We come to You today with hearts full of gratitude. We thank You for the generous hands and caring hearts of everyone who has donated food to the St. Paul’s Food Pantry. Thank You for using our community to bring comfort, relief, and nourishment to those in need.

Lord, You have blessed us so abundantly that our baskets are overflowing! We ask for one more small blessing: if anyone in our community has wicker baskets they no longer need, please guide them to share them with us to help hold and organize this wonderful bounty.

Bless every person who gives, every family who receives, and all who serve in this ministry. Keep our hearts open and our spirits generous.

Amen.

All Souls’ Day – A Service of Remembrance

Monday, November 2 | 6:30 PM | Christ Episcopal Church

On All Souls’ Day, we gather to remember and give thanks for the lives of those we love but see no longer. It is a beautiful opportunity to pause, remember, and entrust those who have died to the loving care of God.

This year, our observance will be especially meaningful as we remember not only our own loved ones but also the generations of faithful people who have been part of Christ Church's history.

We will begin at 6:30 PM with a celebration of the Holy Eucharist in the Columbarium Chapel. Following the service, we will make a prayerful procession around the church grounds, remembering those who have gone before us. Many may not realize that Christ Church was built on a cemetery and that generations of the faithful departed are buried right here on our property. As we walk these sacred grounds, we will offer prayers of thanksgiving and remembrance for those whose lives and faith helped shape this parish.

Grief has a way of staying with us, whether our loss was recent or many years ago. This service offers a time to remember, give thanks, and find comfort in the promise that nothing, not even death, can separate us from the love of God.

Would you like someone remembered by name? Please email Greg in the parish office ([email protected]) or sign up on a sign up sheet outside the parish hall with the names of family members or loved ones you would like included in our prayers. Names must be submitted by Thursday, October 29, at noon.

All are welcome to join us for this special evening of remembrance, prayer, and hope.

One of the unexpected perks of living on the church grounds is never knowing what beautiful things might be happening just outside your back door.

After a few online meetings tonight, I slipped into the church to listen to a community choir rehearsing in our beautiful sanctuary, led by our current and former music directors.

What a gift to have such wonderful music just a few steps from home. A lovely way to end Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
