During worship services this Sun., Nov. 3, Cornerstone UMC will remember those members and others whom we have lost this past year. All Saints Sunday is an opportunity to give thanks for those who have gone before us in the faith. It is a time to celebrate our history, what United Methodists call the tradition of the church.

From the early days of Christianity, there is a sense that the Church consists of not only all living believers, but also all who have gone before us. For example, in Hebrews 12 the author encourages Christians to remember that a "great cloud of witnesses" surrounds us encouraging us, cheering us on.

On All Saints Day we can remember all those who are part of the "communion of saints" we confess whenever we recite The Apostles' Creed. These memories teach us how God has provided for us through the generosity and sacrifice of those who have come before us. The stories of the saints encourage us to be all God has created us to be.

Please join us for this special worship service at 9a Classic worship or 10:30a Modern worship. If you're not able to join us in person, please join us online at csofallon.org/worship.
