Welcome to Worship!
Reformation
Please join us for Holy Communion!Welcome to the LutheranChurch of our Saviour!
We will be celebrating Holy Communion this morning. You need
not be Lutheran nor a member of this congregation. All are invited to join us at
God’s Table. Gluten-free bread and grape-juice are also available.
Today’s PsalmOur Psalm for today is Psalm 149 found on the
screen or on page 338 and following in your hymnal. We will be singing the Psalm
responsively by whole verse.
Tarnished Halos“To be a Saint, all it takes really, is to belong to God. It’s not a matter of being or doing good or wearing
a camel-hair shirt and eating locusts in the
desert, or even performing 3 documented miracles.
It’s simply a matter of belonging to God through
our Baptism.”From today’s sermon: “Tarnished Halos”
Today we remember ...and give thanks for the lives and love of
Mervyn Pegelo, Grace Brydon and Maurice Publuske, all of whom touched our
lives and who now find their rest in God.
“O Lord, your grace is everything; your love has
made us free to stand among the saints and sing the glory
that we see, the glory that we see.”
(ELW #441, vs. 4)
All Saints Sunday
During our liturgy this morning, you’ll be invited to
come forward with your candle, to light it in memory of the saints in your life, and
to place it on or in front of the altar.
