The Herald - November 2019

This All Saints’ Day
I am amazed, caught up in the mystery of the Holy Spirit,
who gathers us with all the saints
“at all times and in all places”
surrounding us with that great cloud of witnesses
who are ever connecting us in grace. 

This All Saints’ Day
I pray with those who live in hope
for that day, when every tear will be wiped away.

This All Saints’ Day
I praise God 
for those Jesus calls blessed, our homeless friends, 
huddling for worship in Thursday morning devotions;
for those who set the Table for our Holy Meal
and all who offer refreshment and hospitality for coffee hour,
for those who model generosity, with chocolate chip cookies and faithful giving,
for all who work for justice, offering healing and hope,
for the children, proclaiming the gospel news:  “Jesus’ heals ten leprechauns!”
for all who make music, moving our worship onto holy ground,
for teachers and leaders who administer and organize Let Me Shine!
for all who have kept the candle of their faith burning, even through their suffering.

And, I thank God for those who have done nothing special at all,
who quietly yet faithfully live as beloved children of God,
living steady and bright in the light of God’s love for them. 

This All Saints’ Day
I give thanks to God for all the saints 
in Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church,
for our fellowship shaped by love and forgiveness.


+ Pastor Steve
