Happy All Saint's Day:
 

The origin of All Saints' Day can be traced back to the early Christian Church when it was established as a day to remember and celebrate the martyrs and other saints who had died for their faith. Over time, the scope of the holiday expanded to include martyrs and all faithful Christians who had lived pious and virtuous lives. It is a day to recognize the saints' collective witness and express gratitude for their example.


So... who were the saints that have gone before you?  Be sure to give thanks for them today.

 

Peace in our journeys,

Pastor Steve Melde
