ALL SAINTS’ SUNDAY
All Saints’ day is a tradition in many denominations, including the ELCA. All Saints’ Day brings forth several important facets of our faith.
The day would not exist were it not for the death and resurrection of Jesus, our Savior. All Saints Day is, therefore, always a celebration of the hope of the resurrection, as St. Paul wrote to the ancient Thessalonians – “But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who have died, so that you may grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus
died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have died.” (1 Thess. 4:13-14)
When writing to the early Christian communities, the Apostle Paul referred to them as those called to be or are, saints, holy ones because of Christ. But of course, this does not mean they were ideal
Christians, perfect in every way, but rather that because in faith they lived in Christ, they, though sinners, were also holy. Thus Luther arrived at his famous statement: “We are a one and the same
time saints and sinners.” All those who have lived and died in the faith are saints.
Trusting in the resurrection and our inclusion in Christ, with love and hope we remember those who have gone before us in the journey of faith, trusting that they are safe and happy
in the presence of God. We live in that hope for them, our loved ones and ourselves.
All Saints Day, therefore, affords us the opportunity to remember all the saints, and certainly those who have been important to our Christian life.
“The light of Christ. Thanks be to God!”

Scripture Readings for November 6, 2016 All Saints’ Sunday:
Daniel 7:1-3, 15-18
The book of Daniel was written in the second century BCE, when the Syrian king Antiochus
Epiphanes was severely persecuting the Jews.
Daniel’s vision of the four beasts serves to proclaim the message that human
kings will come and go, but the kingdom will ultimately
belong to God and to God’s people.
Ephesians 1:11-23
After giving thanks for the faith of the Ephesians, Paul
prays that they might understand the wisdom,
hope, and power of God that is embodied in Jesus Christ.
Luke 6:20-31
In echoes of the prophet Isaiah and Mary’s song of
praise, Jesus reveals surprising things about who
enjoys blessing and who endures woe. He invites his disciples to shower radical love, blessing, forgiveness, generosity, and trust, even to enemies and outsiders.
Sermon Title:
We Remember and Give Praise to God
by Pastor Dave Daugs

All Saints’ Sunday
All Saints' Day celebration has a long history in the worship life of the Christian Church.
It began as a commemoration of the martyrs who had died for the faith,
and it has since become a day when we honor and remember those who,
in death, have joined the Church Triumphant, as well as the faithful saints of the present
who serve Jesus Christ. Martin Luther held that all Christians are
simultaneously sinner and saint-- a sinner because of our rebellious nature, but a saint because of salvation in Jesus.
We Remember…
...these and other sainted family members and friends,
giving thanks for the many ways they demonstrated and shared
Christ’s love:
