All Saints Day

This morning was our Hope UMC's observance of "All Saints" Sunday. On this day we remember those loved ones and "saints" of our church who have gone before us. We remember all, but most especially on this day we honor in memory those that we have lost from our church family from last November through today. I liked the poem that was printed in our bulletin, and have copied it here. I was hoping it would be larger. Hope you can read it. We remembered 4 from Hope, who we all miss very much. Family members of each, came to the front and lit candles in memory/honor of each of them. We also remembered in our hearts those that have gone from our church and personal families through the years.

"All the saints, who from their labors rest"
