All Saints Day, Saturday, November 1 – We have lost so many people who have been instrumental in our faith formation. Come together Saturday evening to pray with gratitude to remember; come together to grieve with profound joy. Grief has no timeline. Whether your loss has been recent or not, celebrate the saints with your church family. The luminary display shows all of the community how we honor the memories of family and friends.

6:00 pm – Brief prayer service
