November 6, 2022: All Saints Day | Saint Luke Chicago

A warm welcome to all who are gathered in the name of Christ today. Even though we are physically distanced, we remain spiritually connected. Please visit our website for access to the bulletin and more online resources visit stlukechicago.org/church Prayer requests may be shared via stlukechicago.org/prayer This morning we enter the portion of the church year in which we contemplate “end-times.” The natural cycle of seasons and the final portion of the Church Year direct our reflections toward transformations and transitions, the endings and beginnings in our own lives. On this, the first Sunday in November we observe the Feast of All Saints. We give thanks for the men and women who have gone before us in Christ and look to their lives of faith as models for our own. We remember those near and dear to us, who, by patient example and encouragement, shaped and nurtured our own faith. In the prayers, we remember them by name and give thanks that their names are written in the book of heaven. We are indeed pleased to welcome members of the Millar Brass Ensemble to worship today. We have enjoyed a friendly relationship with the group for several years and are pleased they could join us! Today we’ll hear 2 of Aaron Copland’s Old American Songs, “At the River” and “Zion’s Walls.” New to Saint Luke?
