ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS

November 9, 2019

Guest Writer: Rev. Sheila Gillette, from All Saints’ Sunday…

Gracious God, Creator of Heaven and Earth,

On this All Saint’s Day of remembrance, we lift up your faithful servants and cloud of witnesses that have gone to be with YOU this past year.

O Lord, we thank you for these Saints who modeled lives of love as faithful witnesses of Jesus here on Earth. Names and lives that are forever written upon our hearts – with memories, tears, laughter and love.

Strengthen our faith and devotion, Loving God. Enable us to live “love first lives” through the examples of holy living and victorious dying shown through the lives of these Saints.

As Jesus loved, enable us to love with the same tenacity in our lives, modeling Jesus’ love against all adversity.

In Jesus Precious Name we pray. Amen.
