Day before All Saint's Eve (or Halloween to some of us)
All Saint's Eve and All Saint's Day has nothing to do with Halloween. All Saint's celebrations were established to dedicate a celebration to the martyrs mostly caused through Emporer Diocletion in 284-305. It was settled on May 13th for many years but changed by Pope Gregory III to Nov. 1.
Halloween was designated in the countries of England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland. A pagan celebration, to celebrate Sanhaim, Celtic Lord of Death. Many animals, people, etc. were burned by the priests whol let the fire run it's course and would see signs of the future in the bones of the people, etc. in the ashes of the fire. Other rituals were attched and folklore. Read more on wikipedia.
Father James Clark will lead us next Sunday, studying the scripture from Matthew 23:1-12 which has "All who exalt themselves will be humbled, and all who humble themselves will be exalted."
Leading this coming Sunday are; Readers; Linda Lay, Dannielle Lay; Crucifer/Server; Stephanie Rowe, Lay Eucharistic Minister; Michelle Berger, Altar Guild; Joyce Koch, Usher/Greeter; Glenn Brod, Hospitality; Glenn Brod, Mildred Sloan. Thanks to all who pitched in last week!
Upcoming worship time, October 23, 2011
Mathew 22:34-46 is a very rich in the teachings of Jesus," 'You shal Love the Lord thy God with all you heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it:'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the law and prophets." Much more in the verses speaks of "The son of David" , and much more will be revealed by Father Clark.
Leaders for Sunday will be Readers; Glenn Brod, Stephanie Rowe, Crucifer/ Server; Ben Lay, Lay Eucharist Minister; Joyce Koch, Altar Guild; Kim Crawford, Usher/Greeter; Linda Lay, Hospitality; Michelle Berger, Steve Rowe. Thanks for the help!
