This Sunday is All Saints Sunday. We will celebrate all those who have gone before us and who now surround us as a cloud of witnesses to the gospel work we are currently doing. We will also celebrate our ministries together as we receive the pledge cards at the offering that symbolize our gratitude to God for the blessings we have been given.
Last Sunday we heard Jesus tell us what is the Greatest Commandment. And I hope that I was able to explain much of it's history in ways that you better understand the importance of the words of the gospel.
We had a great conversation at God Talk yesterday about Christian Principles in an Election Year. We also passed out an insert from the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church about Voting as Stewardship. It should be reachable at this link http://www.episcopalchurch.org/documents/eLife_insert_110208_eng_lettersize.pdf
Pray for a Name is the topic of this Sunday's God Talk. We will begin to narrow our search for a new name that will help us get noticed in the communities around Montgomery and hopefully help describe a bit of what we do and who we are.
On November 9 our God Talk conversation will be about Marriage and the Bible. Some of what you hear may surprise you. We are discussing this because of an upcoming resolution at our Diocesan Convention that you may also want to know about. I will have just attended the day before a pre-convention caucus in the city and will know more by then about this resolution.
Peace and every blessing to you all.
Pastor Dan
