All Saints’ Sunday

In holy baptism God makes saints out of sinners. In holy communion God forgives the sins of all the saints. In worship today we give thanks for all the saints “who from their labors rest.” In the same breath we petition our God for the strength to hear and lean into the wholeness of the beatitudes in today’s gospel. Sealed by the Spirit and sustained by Christ, we live with joy and grief as God’s people.

Accompanying Scripture:
Psalm 149, Ephesians 1:11-23, Luke 6:20-31
