Honoring All Saints and All Souls Day
A heartfelt thank you to our children and youth who came to church Sunday morning, even after a fun-filled night of trick-or-treating, to honor All Saints and All Souls Day!
Our kindergarten through fifth graders placed fresh flowers on gravestones, read the names of those buried there, and reflected on their lives and stories. They discovered veterans, people who lived remarkably long lives, and many others who are part of our church's history.
Our middle and high school youth helped care for the graveyard by clearing debris and even uncovering gravestones that had become buried over the years. Their experience inspired them to continue this meaningful work!
We invite our entire parish to join our youth in caring for this sacred space and preserving its beauty and history for generations to come.

Thank you to all our young people for honoring those who came before us through such thoughtful acts of remembrance and service!
