First Sunday of November, All Saints Day. All the ghosts are back in the ground and only the good spirits of love can stay in this celebration of the ones who form our faith. We think of dead treasured ones, we thing of those who taught us to believe, and the ones that "let the light shine through". On this day, three of our Stephen's Ministry saints (Linda, Jean and Sharon) shared a bit of their story with us for the sermon.
I have been recording the worship services for a month now. At some point with a purpose of podcasting the sermon if not the worship service -- can't figure out how to negotiate the privacy issues. But, we are just now starting to take the DVDs we make to people who couldn't make it to the service. And, all of a sudden, we become their saints, their contact to the church community with prayers and songs already a weeks past, but still alive and kicking in the minds and hearts of those who now have access to the whole worship service. The picture is taken for a long way away and that brings some distance, but nearly everyone is amplified in the worship service so the sound is good and clear.
We took communion to homebound this week, an idea gift from Judith in her consultation.
Saints all over the place.

I am so sorry that I was not able to help with the community Thanksgiving dinner! This is the type of activity that makes me proud of belonging to this Christian community. I hope this becomes a "tradition" and that I will have the opportunity to help out.
