Series: All In
November 01, 2026 | Rev. Nicole Caldwell-Gross
Every year, we celebrate All Saints Sunday by honoring those who have passed from the Earthly Church and joined the Church Triumphant this year. During worship, we speak their names, light candles, and toll bells in their memory, while also offering space for everyone to light a candle in remembrance of loved ones they have lost. All Saints is a special opportunity to remember those whose faith has shaped our families, communities, and church, and whose spirits continue to strengthen us. Most importantly, we gather as one body of Christ, reminding one another that we do not grieve alone. We share in one another's joys and sorrows, triumphs and trials, while proclaiming the hope of eternal life found in Jesus Christ. Together, we affirm the promise that there is a light in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

As we look toward 2027, this is an opportunity to reflect on who we are becoming as a church, what God is cultivating among us, and how each of us has a part to play in what comes next. Much like the changing seasons, the life of the church is an ongoing process of growing, adapting, and making room for new possibilities.
