Readings for All Saints' Sunday, November 3

Isaiah 25:6-9 The banquet of the Lord
Wisdom 3:1-9 (alternate) The righteous are with God
Psalm 24 They shall receive blessing from the God of their salvation. (Ps. 24:5)
Revelation 21:1-6a A new heaven and a new earth
John 11:32-44 The raising of Lazarus

November 3rd is All Saints' Sunday

Of all three years of the lectionary cycle, this year’s All Saints readings have the most tears. Isaiah and Revelation look forward to the day when God will wipe away all tears; in John’s gospel, Jesus weeps along with Mary and all the gathered mourners before he demonstrates his power over death.

On All Saints Day we celebrate the victory won for all the faithful dead, but we grieve for our beloved dead as well, knowing that God honors our tears. We bring our grief to the table and find there a foretaste of Isaiah’s feast to come.

All Saints' Sunday is November 3 this year

On "All Saints Sunday" many Christian churches remember the saints in their congregation who joined The Church Triumphant during the previous year. We will do this at Calvary at both worship services--with one NEW twist.

In addition to the departed saints of the congregation, we want to remember and pray for family members, friends, relatives, acquaintances, etc. who died during the preceding 12 months.

If you would like to have the name of a departed person who was dear to you included in the prayers and remembrances on All Saints Sunday, please convey that information to Susan in the church office, either by phone or via email.

The deadline for submissions is Monday, October 28.
